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.

The fun thing about evolution (and science in general) is that it happens whether you believe in it or not.
