My experiences have been diverse. For example, at a long ride, I was sitting next to this young woman (my age) and she fell asleep. When we arrived to the station, I whispered that we arrived. She woke up and began talking, eventually getting her insta. The irony is that we actually became friends. I was already married by then, prolly that mattered. But it was strange how easy we became real friends. On other rides, i’ve met drunk girls (younger than me). I tried helping them, and from those two cases, one we were talking all the way to where she lived and the other she even gave me her whatsapp. I usually talk to women instead of men. My wife says it’s because of the way I am, that I don’t like being around guys. She even messes with me about that. But most of the cases it happens like all of you describe… people glued to screens. I don’t use any screen when riding public transportation. For several reasons, one being that I like to enjoy the moment by just seeing people. Also, to be alert from any problems. That also opens a pandora box of people approaching me to talk. Sometimes it’s ok but sometimes it’s people I don’t want to talk to. I don’t like to talk to ugly people, needy people, or certain tourists. I like to talk to people that are different than me, people with real questions, women, or people that carry cool stuff with them.
