What? Nothing about public transit is different from libraries, restaurants, cabs, or any other public space. You wouldn't say, "well, you can't go book shopping because you know book stores - people just urinating in the middle!"
Chief difference is that you generally get a much broader spectrum of people in public transport.
The places you mentioned aren't necessary for anyone on a daily basis. Transport, on the other hand, is.

Yes there is. You eject them from the vehicle.
Effectiveness of heating and cooling is considerably diminished when a vehicle opens all its doors every few minutes.
The transport authority of the city I grew up in tried to solve this problem by setting the temperature to a cool 18°C - you could catch a cold from taking a longer trip via tram in the middle of summer.
As for ride comfort: there isn't much you can do against people drinking alcohol, having their phone on speaker or just urinating in the middle.
