Nope. Why should I risk having it stolen?

If the metro is busy enough that the backpack debate comes into play, holding it in front of you (even if not as high up as you'd like) definitely lets you keep a closer eye on it. When it's on your back and it's crammed sardine can o'clock on the trains, people can unzip and dig into your bags super easily behind your back.

Yeah and i can spread my legs on the seats and take up two. But then we would both be inconsiderate.

I'm guessing you also don't move to the back of the bus when its packed because you "might not be able to get off at your stop" or are too self absorbed looking at your phone while someone is unzipping your backpack while its on your back and slowly stealing the contents inside.
