The MTA announced a new campaign to launch in January aimed at getting people not to take up other people's space on the trains by sitting with splayed legs ("man-spreading") or wearing backpacks. WNYC's Kate Hinds joins to talk about the announcements and to take your calls on the other subway etiquette problems the campaign should include.

@BrianLehrer on @wnyc now discussion subway issue of "man-spreading." Rest assured, many men also hate guys who crank legs wide in seats

@BrianLehrer most transgressive acts, in order: backpack, widesit, pole hug, loud music (except during showtime, which is always awesome)

Breaking news (to us) from @katehinds: "No new subway cars will have bucket seats." All future cars will have bench seating. #Huh

@BrianLehrer Guys -- you're trying to turn NYC into, like, Lisbon. It's the subway. It's not supposed to be pleasant. Take it easy.
