Rules of conduct in public transport

For the sake of safety, general education, education and development of a sense of tact, every person must know not only the rules of the road, but also the etiquette of behavior in public transport. In order not to miss anything and not to become a party to the conflict, you must have a general concept and follow the rules described below.

First of all it is necessary to remember that public transport is a place of contact for a large number of different people. One way or another, this is a part of our life, therefore maintaining a supportive environment is very important, which, of course, is facilitated by proper behavior. Public transport includes trams and trolley buses, buses, subways, trains and airplanes.

The main thing is to remember that you are not alone. You should 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 after checking not to lose them. It would be worthwhile to get acquainted with the neighbors in the car, especially if it is a long-distance train. If any aspects will bother you, you can always ask for help from the conductor.

Some points must also be taken into account in a 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 you should eat it right away, 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 brewed with boiling water).

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

You can not drive on the roofs, in the freight car, on the steps of the train. It is forbidden to put out parts of the body from the windows; Stop the crane without extreme need not touch. You can not walk on the railway tracks, they can go in a specially designated place (pedestrian flooring, transitional bridge). Passengers who are located on the upper shelves, during the day can sit on the lower seats.

Fundamental rules:

• Ugly squeeze into the depths of public transport, pushing all the elbows, you need to respect other people.
• Shaking off raindrops and snow is necessary before you get into public transport; this is unacceptable inside.
• Looking at other passengers is impolite, and may 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 in headphones, so as not to disturb anyone.

• Trams can accommodate more people than buses, trolley buses. Therefore, it is necessary to be ready for a large flow of people in it, try not to obstruct the rapid movements of large groups.
• Trolleybuses, like trams, stop at every stop. Given this, it is worthwhile to keep track of who enters the transport — people who need to give up space or need help can enter.

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

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

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

Snacking during the trip may seem convenient, but completely contrary to the rules of etiquette. The smell spreads over the whole area, crumbs will pour in, the possibility of getting a neighbor dirty is not excluded.

Going out, do not break forward, try not to interfere with leaving others. If someone is hard to get out, try to help. Gallant man can give a girl a hand, showing courtesy. Both at the entrance and at the exit, if you see a baby carriage, heavy bags - be sure to offer help alone to cope with this hard.

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

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

In the culture of aviation transport, everything is somewhat different: the norms of what to do should not be established clearly, in order to avoid emergency situations. So, we explain everything in order:

• Unaccompanied airport employees access to the location of the aircraft is prohibited.
• It is impossible to climb aboard an aircraft without permission, to enter the cockpit.
• It is forbidden to get up from the ground during takeoff, landing, or moving on the ground.

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

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

Different rules of behavior should be instilled in the child since childhood, especially if they influence their inclusion in society. There are several simple points to make the child remember them well and know the basics of etiquette in all types of travel:

• You can wait and enter public transport only at bus stops.
• You can bypass the standing bus or trolley bus only from behind.
• Let people go out before you go.
• No need to take with you in transport ice cream, drinks and any other food that you can get dirty passengers.
• Do not push people, do not run and do not hurry to go to the center of the cabin, everything must be done quietly.

• While driving, hold onto the handrails so as not to fall and not hit.
• Do not leave trash behind.
• Do not shout or speak loudly.
• Do not stand in the aisle and do not lean against the door.
• Give room to older people, women and people with disabilities.
• Do not talk to the driver while driving.
