Have you ever sat in the "club four" at the rear of the lower deck of a New Routemaster? Your face is at half the distance from the face of the person opposite you, and in addition to seeing their face in front of you at this close proximity you also have no option but to rub knees with them. And on many journeys, you have to do this for much longer than it takes to get to the end of the BA safety briefing.
