Everyone who uses public transportation every day would like to make those trips more pleasant. And etiquette rules will help with this.

1. If your phone rings or you need to make an urgent call, think about the people around you and how interested they are in what you have to say. Most of them don't care how your date went, how annoying your boss is, or what you're going to make for dinner tonight. If you need to make or answer a call, speak briefly and most importantly, quietly.

2. It is rather inconvenient to ride a bus during rush hour, especially if someone's backpack is pressing on your back. If you have a large bag with you, hold it in front of you or put it on the floor. If you are sitting, your bag or backpack should be on your lap, not in the aisle or on the seat next to you.

3 Public transport is not a disco or a cinema. If you want to listen to music or watch the latest episode of your favorite series on the way to work, use headphones.

4. Do not hesitate to give up your seat in transport. Pretending that you are too busy on your phone to notice an elderly person, a pregnant woman or a disabled person is no excuse.

5. Do not crowd at the door. Go further into the salon, so you maximize the space at the entrance.

6. No matter how hungry you are after work, this is no reason to eat at a bus stop or in a public transport cabin. After all, do you agree that there is nothing more unpleasant than being in a closed space with someone who eats canned tuna or smoked sausage?

7. Use deodorant, but don't wear too much perfume. People with allergies may stay with you in the cabin.

8. Public transport is not a place for personal hygiene. You should not cut your nails, comb your hair or apply makeup on public transport.

9. You need to get out of the transport one at a time, you should not crowd and jostle. Even if your stop is next, be patient and get out when the doors open.

10. Putting your feet on the seat is very rude and impolite. They must stand on the floor, like all other passengers.

11 If you see an empty seat, but do not sit on it, you are obstructing the passage of other passengers.




12. Get your travel pass or ticket in advance so as not to create a traffic jam at the turnstile.

By the way, the same rules of behavior in public transport also apply to children. It is necessary to teach them etiquette from childhood. Parents are fully responsible for their children's behavior. And if they interfere with the comfortable ride of other passengers, the adults who accompany them must ensure decent behavior in transport.
