It's the same for me when I used to take the subway in Boston - if I was near a window and could look out of the car, it was easier to keep my balance (I always stood) than if I was in the middle of the car surrounded by people and couldn't see the windows at all.
We spent seven years living aboard, cruising on our own 40' sailboat. I know from looking at the mast swaying which level is better, and that is lower!
