Trains are a blessings to the environment since many people could ride on them as opposed to crowding streets with cars. However, not many people know how to behave inside these trains. Please keep reading for some guidelines.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    First of all when the train comes to a stop, stand back and allow people to exist. Do not stand in their way and expect them to magically find some space to squeeze out. Stand aside and let them out.

  2. Step 2

    Next, when you enter the train do not race others for seats.

    When a disabled, pregnant, or elderly person comes into the train, offer them your seat. This is assuming you are capable of standing up. By all means, if you have a physical aliment, keep your seat.

  3. Step 3

    If you see someone with luggage or a stroller struggling with entering or existing the train, offer to help them out. If you see a child standing up offer them your seat.

  4. Step 4

    If you choose to eat and drink inside the train, please clean up after yourself.

  5. Step 5

    If you have earphones, keep your volume low; even with earphones, sometimes music is blasting so loudly that everyone could hear.

    If you do not absolutely have to use your cell phone, don't use it. This is very disrespectful and annoying to everyone. We do not wish to know your personal or professional issues.

  6. Step 6

    When existing the train, do not push everyone. Say "excuse me" so that others will know you wish to exist the train.

    Respect your fellow riders so that they will respect you.
