This is disgusting, but enforcing a law against it would be difficult given the situation. You would also either need to take down their information/identification, or else have on-board cameras or officers to keep watch. And with that many people crowded into a train, even that would be tricky. About the only option people could explore right on the spot would be to snap a photo of the creep and pass it along to police.

One other idea would be to create a phone app that allows users to page a security system on-board in the car they're in that would then page an-board transportation officer. But that might not work either since the trains can be very crowded which would make it difficult for an officer to respond.
