Any defence against the coward punch?

Is there any defence against the unseen hit from behind in the street? In Australia we call this the coward punch. There have been people killed by it. There was a case in Perth where a young soccer star was left in a hospital coma; I donated money to his crowd fund to get his parents over.

Now martial arts and weapons don't help here: you can't block what you never see. But is there any tactical training to use the street layout to make it harder for the coward puncher to get a shot away? They want the shot at you from behind. For instance at a train station or a bus stop are there ways of standing or moving to make the coward puncher have to do too much work to get in position.

This is what I WISH that self defence would teach. But it never does. It's not sexy. It doesn't get a photo of ancient Wu Shu. But avoiding the coward puncher can save your life. Note: I am talking about something totally unprovoked for the sake of just doing damage.
