crochet on public transport?

hi everyone,
I was wondering if any of you guys crochets or knits on public transport on your commutes to work, and if so, do people comment often? Cause I only get weird looks so I try to sort of hide next to a window seat

I've had people asking questions and being curious, but it's mostly "what are you making" type questions. Now I'm not the only one doing yarn work on public transportation where I live (there's a lady knitting a wonderful blanket!), so it's not considered strange, but interesting and a conversation starter.

Hi, I crochet in public places sometimes, not on public tranports cause I live in a small town, but people usually ask "what are you making?", And other people gives me a weird look

I crochet on the bus (both inner city bus and cross-country bus) and during most classes (it helps me pay attention because my hands are busy and my teachers like what I make but i hear that's rare) and nobody ever comments
