		<description>It&#039;s an interesting point that David Boles makes. I have never been a great believer that certain rules will necessarily modify behaviour; if anything, they might encourage people to break the rules. But yes, most of the rules are based on common sense. There are also rules like: 

&lt;i&gt;do not lean on the door&lt;/i&gt; yet how many of us have just done that?

&lt;i&gt;step aside &amp; let them out&lt;/i&gt; yet I come face to face, literally, with passengers at the 68th street-Hunter college/Times Square/96th Street stops (and countless others), who push me back in while I&#039;m trying to get out.

My point here is, there are many more ills in the transit system that need to be taken care of than fining me if I carry my regular coffee with milk in the morning.</description>
