Having to stand for 20 minutes is not such a bad deal if you’re in decent health. Hell it’s probably good for you if you spend most of your day sat at a desk.

> if you're in decent health

and if you're not? Not all bad health is a character failure, you know. Some people just have diseases like multiple sclerosis

in the public vs private transit discussion, all I know is that I've never been harassed by someone else in my car on the way to work, but the subway was a different story, and I've spent a lot more time commuting by car than train

If you’re not, you use a car, or maybe priority seating. Nobody is saying ban cars, but make them unnecessary for the average person.

If you’re not then you can take one of the priority seats, it doesn’t have to be a big deal.
