Queueing now 'uncool'?

Does my memory fail me ( not unheard of!) or were people in the habit of queueing for buses 20 or 30 years ago? Nowadays, there is a regular hodge-podge of shoving and jostling at the bus stop. This country was once famed for its queues! What the blazes is going on?

It seems to me that all the small civilities that made this country singular - and yes, great - are being rapidly dispensed with, on account of their being old-fashioned or 'uncool'.
