Rules of conduct in public transport

For the sake of safety, general education, upbringing and development of a sense of tact, everyone is obliged to know not only the rules of the road, but also etiquette of behavior in public transport. In order not to miss anything and not become a participant in the conflict, you must have common concepts and follow certain standards described below.

First of all, it is necessary to remember that public transport is the place of contact of a large number of different people. One way or another, this is part of our lives, so maintaining a favorable environment is very important, which, of course, contributes to proper behavior. Public transport includes trams and trolleybuses, buses, subways, trains and airplanes.

The main thing to remember is that you are not alone. You must always take into account the personal space of others and try not to cause them inconvenience.

First of all, the conductor will check your tickets and documents, it is important not to leave any of this with the mourners, and also after checking not to lose them. It will be useful to get acquainted with the neighbors in the car, especially if it is a long-distance train. If any aspects bother you, you can always turn to the guide for help.

Some points must also be taken into account in the long-distance train. Since the trip is long, it is important to take care of food for this time, as well as water. Homemade food may not be stored for long, so eat it immediately, at the beginning of the trip. Basically, you need to take products that can be stored for a long time (fruits, nuts, canned goods, biscuits, products boiled with boiling water).

In the general carriage, as in most types of transport, it is not recommended to make noise, disturb neighbors, or run. Although the trip is not relatively long, the children cannot sit still for so long, so it is important to control them in such a situation.

Do not drive on roofs, in a freight car, on the steps of a train. It is forbidden to protrude parts of the body from windows; The stop crane does not need to be touched without emergency. You can’t walk along the railway tracks, you can cross them in a place specially designated for this (pedestrian flooring, bridge). Passengers placed on the upper shelves can sit in the lower places during the day.

Basic Rules:

• It is ugly to squeeze deep into public transport, pushing everyone with their elbows, you need to respect other people.
• Shaking off raindrops and snow is necessary before you get into public transport, inside this is unacceptable.
• Looking at other passengers is impolite, and can also scare them. Looking into a neighbor’s phone or book is also inappropriate.
• Watching movies, listening to music and playing gadgets is permissible only with headphones, so as not to disturb anyone.

• Trams accommodate more people than buses, trolleybuses. Therefore, it needs to be prepared for a large flow of people, try not to impede the rapid movement of large groups.
• Trolleybuses, like trams, stop at every stop. Given this, it is worthwhile to monitor who enters the transport - people may enter for whom it will be necessary to give way or need help.

Regardless of the type of public transport, there are orders that are fair for all:

• The very first thing to be done is to release the people who leave him. The right to enter first belongs to children, the elderly and women, as well as people with disabilities.
• People in vehicles should not stand in the doorway, thereby making it difficult for passengers to enter and exit.
• If at the entrance there are difficulties and help is needed, the initiative from men will be most welcome and will show them from the best side. However, we must not forget that first you need to ask for permission. The circumstances may be different, and assistance may not be appropriate.
• When entering, you must not forget to remove bags and backpacks from your shoulders so as not to hurt others around them.

During the trip you need to remember about personal space. And not only about his own, but also about the space of other passengers: leaning on others with all his weight and pushing is unacceptable, this can even lead to conflict. Disrespectfully to other people will talk loudly with his friends, and also speak loudly on the phone. Not the best topic for discussion will be personal life, profanity unconditionally banned.

A snack during the trip may and may seem convenient, but completely contrary to the rules of etiquette. The smell will spread throughout the area, crumbs will pour in, the possibility of staining a neighbor is not ruled out.

When leaving, do not break forward, try not to interfere with others leaving. If it’s hard for someone to get out, try to help. A gallant man can give a girl a hand, showing courtesy. Both at the entrance and at the exit, if you see a pram, heavy bags - be sure to offer help, it's hard to cope with it alone.

If you see a person who is hard to stand, you should certainly give way to him. The unspoken rule is that first of all you need to give places to the elderly, pregnant women, passengers with children in their arms and people with disabilities. But every self-respecting man will surely give way to a woman. The sense of tact should be more developed in boys and men, who will always help and give way.

When traveling in a car, the passenger is first obliged to fasten his seat belt; special restraints or chairs are provided for children. During the trip it is not allowed to lean out of windows and hatches, stick limbs out there. In no case should you distract the driver by any means. Opening the vehicle doors and leaning on them is unacceptable; this can lead to an accident.

In the culture of aviation transport, things are somewhat different: the norms of what to do should not be clearly established, in order to avoid emergencies. So, let's explain everything in order:

• Unaccompanied airport employees are not allowed to enter the aircraft location.
• You can not arbitrarily climb aboard an aircraft, enter the cockpit.
• Getting up from take-off, landing, moving on the ground is prohibited.

Before taking off, taking their place, everyone should fasten their seat belt. Then it is extremely important to listen to the rules of conduct in the cabin, as well as in case of emergency.

Rule number 1 in an emergency is not to panic and not to panic among others. If it is clear that disaster cannot be avoided, you have to lie on the floor or sit on a seat, cover your head with your hands. After the accident, you need to try to leave the transport, but only after it stops completely. If it is impossible to do this through the doors, there is an alternative option - to squeeze out or break the glass.

Different rules of behavior should be instilled in a child from childhood, especially if they affect their involvement in society. Several simple points can be distinguished so that the child remembers them well and knows the basics of etiquette in all types of trips:

• You can wait and get into public transport only at stops.
• You can get around a standing bus or trolleybus only at the rear.
• Before you go, let go of people leaving.
• No need to take ice cream, drinks and any other food with which you can stain passengers.
• Do not push people, do not run and do not rush to go to the center of the cabin, everything needs to be done calmly.

• While driving, hold onto the handrails so as not to fall and hit.
• Do not leave trash behind.
• Do not scream or speak loudly.
• Do not stand in the aisle and do not lean against the doors.
• Give way to the elderly, women, the disabled.
• Do not talk to the driver while driving.
