Good idea. They should also install bins on trains to cope.

On my way home I will always pick up an MX to read if someone's left it 
neatly on the seat. I also return the favour with my morning paper, by 
leaving it neatly for someone else to read (if a passenger doesn't pick it 
up by the other end, the driver usually does). Why waste it by throwing it 
out?

People who make a mess by throwing pages and carelessly dropping newspapers 
on the floor should have the book thrown at them for littering.

Good idea for the povvo papers, bit hard for the papers like The Age (would  
be nice though)
