Depends on how crowded and short trip versus long trip, but I would generally say:

1

I have a proprietary method of choosing a seat and is based on numerous subtle factors. It mostly works when there are many empty rows of seats available.
When the seats are mostly filled, I just pace myself along the train.
If the train is too crowded to pace, I just stand.

If you go into a blinding rage over a streetcar seat, you have other issues to deal with.

I think if #1 is occupied, most people will go for #4 next. This avoids the awkwardness of having someone directly in front of you and give you a bit more leg room.
On the new Flexity Outlook streetcar, where left is forward and right is backward (maybe the future Flexity Freedom light rail vehicles as well), my preference would be #3, #1, #4, and #2. No rage if I get a seat.

The language is extreme over something so trivial as choosing a seat. Rage? Really? Irritation maybe. Life is too short.

Never underestimate how some people have extreme anger issues over the most mundane things.

Don’t wonder why we have such violent reactions to relatively minor issues then.

Is there any chance the bus only lane on Dufferin can be expanded from Finch to Steeles? That’s the last leg of my journey to Supertest from Sheppard West Subway.

I worked up there on Murray Ross Parkway just off Dufferin for a few years.
I hate that area.

At least that's close to Keele West Stn. Yeah, this area is pretty crappy, but my drive from downtown east to here was under 35 min this morning. When I worked at QEW and Hurontario the drive could be an hour.
