Residents of cities spend a significant part of their time in public transport, because every weekday the townspeople have to get to work and return home. So that a trip on a tram, bus or metro does not turn into a test for nerves, you should know the rules of behavior in public transport and adhere to them clearly.
Instruction manual
1
When entering public transport, first let those who go outside. Then you should skip ahead of the elderly, women, children and the disabled. Only after this, a well-educated person can enter the bus or the subway car himself.
2
When you are in the subway car, you should not lean your back on the handrail located at the entrance to the car. So you can hurt the person sitting behind you, causing him concern.
3
Do not try to look over a shoulder of a person standing nearby or sitting to familiarize yourself with the contents of the newspaper or book that he is reading. By this you violate the personal space of a person and interfere in his life. This behavior causes legitimate irritation and can be a source of conflict.
4
If there are no empty seats in the transport, always give way to those who need it more than you. This again refers to the elderly, the disabled, women and children. When you give way to a specific person, invite him to sit down. Otherwise, the vacated place will be taken very quickly by someone who is more lenient about the rules of conduct in transport.
5
If the place gives way to you, do not rush to refuse such a gesture of goodwill. So you can put a responsive person in a very awkward position. Thank you for your attention and take the place you were offered.
6
Try not to look closely at other people, and even more so you should not look into their faces. Public transport and so sharply narrows the comfortable space for each passenger. Obsessive attention to other people can be regarded by them not as goodwill, but as a sign of aggression.
7
When you leave the bus or leave the subway car, do not hesitate to give a hand to the women who leave behind you. This wish applies, of course, to men. Your attention in most cases will be regarded approvingly. Always remember that sincere benevolence, courtesy and courtesy in public transport will save your nerves and give a boost of positive energy not only to you, but also to other people.
