Residents of cities spend a significant part of their time on public transport, because every weekday they 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 your nerves, you should know the rules of behavior in public transport and strictly adhere to them.
Instructions
Step 1
When entering public transport, first let those exiting outside. Then you should let the elderly, women, children and disabled people go ahead. Only after that a well-mannered person can enter a bus or a subway car himself.
Step 2
When you are in a 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 anxiety.
Step 3
Do not try to look over the shoulder of a person who is standing or sitting next to you to familiarize yourself with the contents of the newspaper or book that they are reading. By doing this, you violate the personal space of a person and interfere with his life. This behavior causes legitimate irritation and can be a source of conflict.
Step 4
If there are no free places in transport, always give way to those who need it more than you. Again, we are talking about elderly people, people with disabilities, women and children. When you make room for a specific person, invite him to sit down. Otherwise, the vacant place will very quickly be taken by someone who is more forgiving about the rules of conduct in transport.
Step 5
If the seat is giving up to you, do not rush to refuse such a gesture of goodwill. This can put a responsive person in a very awkward position. Thank you for your attention and take the seat that was offered to you.
Step 6
Try not to look closely at other people, and even more so you should not look into their faces. Public transport already dramatically narrows the comfortable space for each passenger. Obsessive attention to other people can be regarded by them not as benevolence, but as a sign of aggression.
Step 7
When you step out of the bus or leave the subway car, do not hesitate to give your hand to the women who are leaving behind you. This wish applies, of course, to men. Your attention will be appreciated in most cases. Always remember that sincere benevolence, courtesy and politeness in public transport will save your nerves and give a boost of positive energy not only to you, but also to other people.
