what answer could i possibly give to you that would change your response? antarctica?

of course this is true. what are you going for here. my objection is to standing up a Train Security Panopticon with "modern AI" and locking commuters (in north america) on a train (in north america) who might depend on a schedule (using a north american time zone) stuck at a station until the (north american) cops can come and pull someone (who statistically, but not for sure, would be north american) off of the car for being drunk (off of beer i've had in my personal experience, coloring this example, which may not be the beer that is representative of the world at large) and napping on the seats

I'm going for, "it could be a serious suggestion."

In other cultures, being rude and disrespectful to other passengers is simply not done, and transgressors are actually punished.

Americans have a problem with public transportation, but the problem isn't public transportation, it's Americans.

which cultures? which public transportation? is it possible that what you assume is the problem is colored by your personal experience and not representative of members of a country at large?

They would have to make the choice depending on how long the service takes vs the size of the offense. Usually they can wait for the train to arrive.
