It’s not a train station platform’s job to solve all of society’s problems. During rush hour a train station platform is extremely overcrowded. It’s a serious issue and one of the top reasons people choose to avoid transit, which makes climate change dramatically worse.

Hostile architecture in parks and other open spaces and actual fucking housing is where you should be spending your lobbying effort.
