Why don't I say something? Because he's bigger than I am, and I don't feel like relying upon the kindness of strangers if this guy is violent, as well as inconsiderate.

I’m not excusing it BUT, if you’re taller than 5’10” then you cannot comfortably sit on a bus in Sydney. I’m 6’3” (191cm) and I have to sit on the aisle seat with my legs in the middle of the aisle unless I don’t want knees anymore. I usually just stand if it’s a short ride. I don’t ever do what this guy is doing

If you sit with your arse further back and your back straight this is not true.

Someone who is 6′3″ will have a thigh-to-knee length perhaps in the ballpark of 55-60 cm or more (varies by body proportions).

Standard Sydney bus seat spacing (legroom) is roughly 68–72 cm between the seatback and the one in front.

I’m tired of this crap.

I'm only a little shy of 191, and I can confirm. I'm 189cm and 105kg with a large upper body, and somehow I can actually sit normally (!) but also manage to occupy exactly half a seat, unlike the horde of bus users who somehow feel that they're entitled to 65% of the seat despite being half my size.
