Do you make friends while travelling? or atleast talk to the adjacent person?

How often do you talk to the stranger passenger who is travelling along with you? or atleast will you make friends while travelling? I always try to know the person who is sitting adjacent to me, & start a conversation first, sometime people do not respond properly, but sometime we get to know the other person. i once was travelling from bangalore to chennai, when i was just sitting , i saw a old man standing, & had no place to sit, i gave him place to sit, & was standing for a while, one young boy who was watching me give place to the old man, got up from his place & gave me his seat & went to chat with his friends who were on the other side, i was moved by his attitude & started a conversation when he came back, he said he was from bangalore itself, & just talking & talking, we became good friends, we exchanged email ids & its already 5 years by now, & still we are in touch, he is married, & i am married too but still we talk about how we became friends, & thick friends, do you have any experience like that????
