It is extremely frowned upon to mindlessly browse when you're driving a car. And frankly when I used to take transit the busses and trains were so cram packed at rush hour I could barely move, nevermind hold my phone and scroll. It was often all I could do to keep from falling and squishing someone. It also was more like a 40-60 minute commute each way, which I think is more common than a <30 minute commute in many big cities. |

Here, illegal. Traffic safety. Same goes for cellphone usage. Even on bikes.
But then perhaps OP was thinking bus, train, etc... but there you often have other problems like you mentioned, available space being the most important one. Smartphones seem to have solved that problem judging by the behaviour of my fellow commuters.
They seem to manage staring at a screen no matter how impossible the setting is and even regardless of the potential dangers of them being totally unaware of what is going on around them. Impressive, really.
