Many of us have to get to work and work from the metro, and at peak times we sometimes have to take overcrowded wagons almost by storm. This is not about etiquette and politeness, but about survival in the crowd. By the way, most of the tips can be attributed to jam-packed ground public transport.
Instruction manual
1
First and foremost: while in the subway, you should always remember that this is a place of increased danger, and you need to behave based on this.
2
Do not go to the very edge of the platform! Even if your vestibular apparatus is normal and your head is not spinning, there is a danger of pressure from the crowd behind.
3
Do not lean out to look into the tunnel! The train from this will not come faster, and you put your life in serious danger. A special threat is the rear-view mirror of the train, which protrudes a considerable distance - several cases of death or injury of people knocked down by this mirror are known.
4
If a lot of people gathered on the platform, and the train arrived crowded, do not try to get into it, it is better to wait for the next! As practice shows, with some regularity, trains arrive less loaded, for example, from a depot, and you can enter them almost without problems.
5
Once in the train, sandwiched on all sides by other passengers, stand still, do not push! Do not think that someone is leaning on you or specifically pushing to do disgusting things. Not! In the subway, everyone is equal, everyone is in the same position, and everyone is just as stuffy and stuffy as you. Therefore, the best thing you can do is to take a comfortable position as far as possible and calmly go to your stop.
6
It is strongly not recommended to put your arms or elbows out to the sides: the crowd may suddenly swing or tear off somewhere, and the clasped hand will be at risk of dislocation or even fracture. Therefore, keep your hands pressed to your own body!
7
If you have a bag, and in it money, documents or other valuables, be sure to keep it in front of you; remove the backpack and place between the legs. Do not put valuables in the back pockets of your trousers or in the outer pockets. Theft in the flea market happens regularly!
8
Take off your headphones! It will be better if you hear what is happening around you and control the situation (see point No. 1).
9
No matter how difficult it is, you always need to remain a person and behave respectfully towards others.
