I reckon it’s simply the same reason why restaurants are busy at lunch time & dinner time. Everyone (a lot) goes to work & leaves work at roughly the same time. As with a restaurant, the staff work all day, not just when it’s busy. The bus drivers work all day but they can’t ~triple the number of drivers at certain periods, it just wouldn’t make sense.

All of the above! Luckily in Perth, Western Australia it isn’t so bad, however it still happens in peak hour. My solution is to have more buses running – simple!

If all buses are crowded all the time, then insufficient infrastructure and resources. But empty buses mean bad planning!

Since Melbourne public transport has become so congested over the past few years, I've noticed that people (including me) are more focused about boarding first if possible so they can get one of the now scarce seats for their journey.

Hence people standing too close to train doors when they open, making it difficult for people to exit. I try to be mindful of others in this situation myself, but I sorta understand why a long-distance commuter would be more ruthless about trying to get a seat home after a long day at work.

Underinvestment in public infrastructure has inevitably chipped away at our sense of community, though on the whole people still do the right thing.
