If people left the papers/magazines/whatever on the trains and busses -- it'd create such a litter problem that people wouldn't want to ride public transport. When I take the bus or train into the city, I will usually leave my newspaper on top of the recycling bin -- not put it in it -- (I notice a lot of people doing the same) so that way if someone wants some reading material, they don't have to trash pick.
Magazines I will either give to the bus driver (if he wants it - -usually does) or leave it in the seat pocket.
There are some cities, where leaving a paper would be considered littering, and you'd get a ticket.
