I think you might just be describing the fact that humans suck and lack empathy rather than a specific mode of transit sucking. Everyone seems to expect that the burden of “paying attention and being empathetic” belongs on others. Sure, there might be some negligible affinity for one mode or another among the biggest assholes, but I’m a firm believer in the fact that 90% of people are just petulant asses who will pay zero attention the moment they get into their car/boat/bike/scooter/moped and then turn around and winge about the injustice of it when someone does it to them the next time they’re on foot. I don’t expect decency from other humans because I’ve seen what they do to public restrooms and places when they think nobody is watching. Immediate reversion to their inner goblin.
