Divisionless benches only make sense for >3 people, and those must be sidewise, and can only work on high density, high churn rail operations like NYC, London, Paris etc. where accel/decel are well controlled. They'd be Right Out on a bus (can't limit decel) and not very workable on light rail, as Muni will discover. | |

Also, transit seats are not benches, and have lines molded right into them which indicate the seat boundary. You talk about "the space", but there's actually "your space" and "my space" clearly visible. | |

That is fine to do here, but you should check out our guidelines for frame challenges to make sure you get all of the necessary information. Right now your answer seems to be missing the part about providing a solution to the problem. You've mentioned that the OP will have to confront the men who are spreading their legs, but you haven't given any advice as to how to do that. | |
