People walking much slower than everyone else the crowd are called Meanderthals.

I am in two minds on that.

Firstly, they should be a little more aware if others around them.

Second, why are we rushing everywhere? Why can't we just take it slow?

I cannot reconcile that other than a middle path between them.

I assign _zero_ value to walking between the train and my house. When I get home I can play video games / make food / read a book / play music / whatever. Every minute spent commuting is a minute of enjoyment lost vOv

Because the trains and buses don’t run at 5 minute intervals, they run at 20+ min intervals, so missing one can mean a minimum of a 20+ minute delay, if you can fit onto the next one. That is the best case scenario if you do not have a connection to make, where delays can compound even further.
