Agreed. But I'd just like to point out that some of us who are disabled need
to use normal-sized rucksacks (daypacks) on public transport. While we can
(and should) take care not to bump other people, it's best if those other
people don't try to push past us as it can easily cause injury.

I've lost count of the number of people I've come across (both on and off of
public transport) who can't even *see* the rucksack , let alone walking
sticks and crutches, when they're walking straight towards it. A single bump
can feel like a knife going in...
