Having lived in NYC for several years where I was frequently packed into elevators with others like sardines, I would say that this is not entirely true. It very much depends on where you are and how busy the lift is that you are on.

Agreed... anyone who has been on the Tube or any train into/out of London knows that this is simply flawed. If there’s ‘space’ then I agree, people will use it. The problem is the space available often prevents that instinctive reaction

Something a tad weird though of entering a nigh on empty lift and sidling up to an occupant......like-wise going up to a bar in a pub.......folks 'space out'.......

One of the first things I remember from my undergrad geography was Peter Haggets Beach Model of human spatial distribution. It was based on observing how people populate a beach and find their spaces and then fill in the gaps!

I remember when I first came to Australia, I noticed people kept moving away from me when waiting at pedestrian crossings, waiting for lifts etc. Then realised my social distancing was still calibrated to Asian/African big city living!
