Menuphobia 

Reluctance to make a choice between different alternatives.

Making decisions is always a task. But it is an unpleasant task for many people. The term "menuphobia" describes this aversion to having to choose between several alternatives.
I hate long lists of choices in restaurants. My wife always makes the better choice and I have to watch her. I already have real menu phobia.

There is so much great food to choose from on the cruise that I can't make up my mind. I suffer from menuphobia.

The reluctance to make decisions

Making decisions is always a task. But it is an unpleasant task for many people. The term "menuphobia" describes this aversion to having to choose between several alternatives.
I hate long lists of choices in restaurants. My wife always makes the better choice and I have to watch her. I already have real menuphobia.
There is so much great food to choose from on the cruise that I can't make up my mind. But I still can't be happy because of my menuphobia.

menuphobia 

The fear of having to make a choice, for example from a menu in a restaurant or different items to choose from in a shop.

Origin: Phobia from ancient Greek phóbos, “fear”
I prefer a single dish of the day in a restaurant or a fixed menu suggestion to a large menu. The choice makes me uncomfortable or even anxious. I know, that's menuphobia .

I often come back from shopping empty-handed. It was my menuphobia again. I couldn't make up my mind.

The more similar the alternatives are, the harder it is to make a decision. This is one reason for menuphobia.

Muniphobia 

Fear of public transportation. Claustrophobia, hypochondria, and xenophobia all in one.
Amy suffered from an acute case of muniphobia, as she could not conquer her fear to travel aboard the municipal bus amongst the filthy common people.
