Public Transport Etiquette

A few things to remember the next time your on public transport.

For passengers

• Don't put your feet on the seats
• Don't block the doors or stairs
• If an elderly person or pregnant woman gets on offer a seat if there aren't any available
• No one cares what Jenny said to Sally so keep your voice down, especially on mobiles (your louder than you think)
• Offer the space available to people with push chairs and wheelchair's
• Don't bring alcohol on board, if it spills it stinks the place up
• Don't eat smelly food, people don't want to be smelling of donar kebab
• Don't try to sneak on and pretend not to hear the driver when he/she tells you to get off

For drivers

• Wait until all passengers are on the bus before closing the doors
• Wait until all passengers are off the bus before closing the doors
• If someone runs upto the bus and you've already closed the doors open them again. It may be sometime before another bus comes
• When someone presses the bell, stop so they can get off the bus (happend to me today driver claims I didn't give him enough time but I did.)
• Drive carefully, you driving a bus not a formula1 racing car
• Drive a little faster its a bus not a tractor
• Don't use a mobile phone, many lives are in your hands
• When changing drivers don't use it as an opportunity to catch up on the gossip. Switch driver and continue the journey, people have places to go.

Thats all I can think of, my class starts soon so ill leave you to ponder the above.
