Standing on the train

On the subway, there is this class of people who insist on standing up before their stops. The logic, as far as I understand it, goes something like, well I am getting off at this stop so I'll go stand closer to the door. Note the prominence of "I" in that logic and the failure to recognize the "public" in "public transportation."
Why do I care? If you've ever been on a semi-crowded train and you have a brain, you should know. These people struggle to stand up, typically right as the train accelerates and it is hardest to maintain balance. Or if already standing, they take this opportunity to press their way forward. These moves force those around them to adjust their balance and move, again, at a most inopportune time. So, for example, as a passenger in the way of these folk, you're forced to stand up for absolutely no reason and maintain your balance, or you're forced to let go of whatever your hand is gripping to prevent you from flying to the other end of the train. Then there is the way these actions increase the clumping of people around the door.
The really galling part about this is that there is no reason whatsoever for this. On a really really crowded train, like I used to take to work in London, you actually do have to move towards the door if you're in the middle or you'll miss your stop. First off, I've never even seen a train that required that kind of maneuvering in Chicago. Ever. Second, if you're going to do that, you have to do the moving either when the train is stopped or, alternatively, if it's a rather advanced sort of train, when it is at a comfortable cruising speed. But that's it, basta.
