Struggles commuters face all the time

Doing last minute reading on the train and/or bus is a common habit and although you think you'll cram lots into the 45 minute journey, you end up reading the same line over and over again.

Getting mad on the train when a stranger is sitting in your seat. But you know you shouldn’t be mad because they don’t know it’s your seat. You also have no right to call it your seat. So you just stand and fume quietly.

This can make it incredibly off-putting to turn up to your lectures. But you make the journey anyway...

When the one train line you use doesn’t do 24 hour service and you have to leave a party at 11:30pm or beg someone to let you sleep on their sofa.

Sprinting faster than Usain Bolt for the last tube of the night or when you see the train doors about to close.
