20 Public Transport Etiquette Rules You Should Remember

Most people are taught basic manners in their childhood. Our parents teach us to give up our seat for an older person, not to make too much noise, and to respect other people's space. But some people grow up and seem to completely forget the rules of behavior on public transport.

Unfortunately, many people consider respect for the rules of etiquette as something shameful, considering it a feature of classy aesthetes who are removed from real life. Good manners are as different as the people who show them. Nevertheless, there are some etiquette rules that should be followed no matter what nationality you are. Everyone should want to be a polite person after all! Here are 20 things you shouldn't forget when you're on public transport.

SUMMARY:
- If you know that a long bus or train journey is ahead of you, prepare everything you need beforehand.
- If you have several bags, place them on the luggage shelf vertically so they occupy less space.
- If you have a large backpack or a filled-to-the-brim purse, take it off your shoulder, and hold it in front of you.
- It's not acceptable to put on makeup or comb and tie up your hair in a public place.
- If you want to help a stranger (especially someone with limited physical capabilities) to enter a vehicle, remember to ask if they need your assistance.
- If your children learn the rules of behaving on public transport before a trip, you'll save your nerves and the nerves of the people around you.
- This doesn't mean that you should give up a comfortable seat you booked in advance for a person who didn't prioritize their comfort and bought a ticket at the last minute.
- Some people are extremely sensitive to smells, and you can imagine what will happen if you unwrap an odorous snack in an enclosed bus or train.
- In the rainy season, public transport becomes even more cramped: in addition to bags, each passenger has to take an umbrella with them.
- Consider the feelings of others and the example you're setting to children who are onboard, and don't forget about common decency.
- Help those who need assistance, for example, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
- No matter how fascinating your neighbor's book, newspaper, face, or clothes are, don't stare at them. It’s rude, and it can make the person you've chosen for your intent examination extremely uncomfortable.

U forgot First let people leave the train/bus and if they are ou t then u can go inside

[avaborho]

When people breath on me while they are sleeping

[supersonicfan]

Its rude to tie your hair up in public? Eh.. Unless youre in a very tight spot where you're gonna elbow someone else, I don't think that's such a big deal.

[turningoutthelights]

The eigth one is so important.I once had someone in front of me who reclined their seat immediately after the plane was stable.He was like this for the whole flight, and I couldn't have my lunch or my dinner

[vinonurhalim]

Agree with number 8. Please consider the passenger behind you before you reclining your seat.

[lookabird]

That woman in the thumbnail be like “BUT CAN YOU DO THIS!?”

[abcdef-moon]

I have a lot of problems with people on public transport but I don’t like confrontation so I usually just deal with it.

[laurenbahr]

Cough or sneeze without covering their mouth or nose. The inner elbow is always available. Think of the elderly. Infants or those who may be immusuppressed

[davinp]

Don't stand up too early which blocks the way. Stay seated until after the train leaves the previous station. Standing means detraining and don't hold door open, let the door close.

[sarahh]

Somthing that annoys me is when parents just let there kids run a muck

[adominator]

Chewing to loud smack and dont control their kids

[debjanisengupta]

Major etiquette rule: Don't ask people to subscribe/like right at the beginning of a video

[punkemoandy]

It's stand on the right here in the UK as You use the London Underground

[Pidalin]

Here in Czechia you have to let old and pregnant people sit and you have to go out first in station and then you can enter metro/bus/tram. You can't just go inside before people got out first. When I started traveling, I was schocked this rules are not common everywhere, it works mostly only in slavic countries and not even in all. We also doing that with escalators, I thought it's unique here, but I saw that even in Portugal, but it's not like law in other countries, here in Czechia all people are really doing that. They have to change direction of escalators time by time because of that to prevent damaging only one side. :-D
We also let small kids sit because it's better then let them running around and falling to ground every 5 seconds. :-D

Wow, thanks for the valuable video brightside team.
One small edition, we have to be careful about going to sleep in a bus when it is travelling in hilly area roads, many a times I have experience this, when a bus is traveling at a long distance and enters hilly areas, we have to be careful whether we are awake or asleep, if we are asleep we have to be careful to avoid falling on the fellow passengers beside us, many a times when I am travelling, I have seen people going to sleep and when the bus takes a sharp turn resting their heads and their weight on us sitting beside them so sleep no problem but be careful not to lean on others this is just a suggestion that I wanted to give to all our fellow passengers thank you

[andreapatane]

I really don’t like it when people stare at me and everyone else on public transportation, because it’s really a rude thing for them to do. Sometimes, they get mesmerized at my Haunted Mansion 👚s in regards to being curious about them.

[davinp]

The DC Subway called Metro used to have signs at the escalator stand to right, walk to the left. But they removed them and so tourists don't know they shouldn't stand on the left side

[mad-dog]

Common sense isnt so common to find so bravo for making this video :)
