meanmutha - Reminds me of a flight from Tokyo to Seoul around 1980. Smoking and 'non-smoking' (hah!) sections on the plane. I have asthma, chose the 'non-smoking. Blokes started lighting up all around me, even the guy sitting right next to me. I got the attention of a flight attendant.…

How about beginning with an education program on the trains and in stations. Put on extra staff, put up posters, make announcements: "In order not to trouble others, do not plow into them with your shoulder, briefcase, or shopping bag.
