People strongly distrust others on the Metro -- muggers, crazy people, pickpockets, the homeless... The built-in suspicion is probably what kept a lot of the parents moving their kids on in such a hurry.
On the metro, one's frame of mind is set to 'endure', not 'enjoy' or 'learn'. Teachers, artists & entertainers know that a receptive frame of mind is very important to 'reaching' someone.
