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.

Hey everyone! What's the most annoying thing people do on public transport? 😣

[@tisha8253]

When people stare at others😂🙄😂😂

[@smitajky]

To me it is the almost universal use of the smart phones. People who WANT to be isolated even when in a crowd. I came from a world where people spoke to each other, learned from each other, helped each other as a community. The community is dead and it has become a series of isolated islands.

[@derektinsley1918]

Whats wrong with putting on makeup in public?

[@gopanda5629]

not sleeping

[@606aichan7O7]

I saw someone putting their bag and coat on the seat next to the window while sitting on the seat next to it.....

[@jasper-brawlstars4896]

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

[@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.

[@jasper-brawlstars4896]

Davin Peterson agree

[@davinp]

agree. I ride a commuter train and on instances when it's overcrowded due to a delay, the conductor announces please move out of the way for others to get off at their station, they then can get back on.

[@jasper-brawlstars4896]

Davin Peterson thats anoying man I hope many people see this and think like i should do not do this

[@Pidalin]

Yes, first let people leave and then you can enter, that's rule here in Czechia and tourists have hard times with that, they think we are rude when someone push them back because he wants to leave. We are not rude, they are actually rude. Mostly Asians are doing that, they are just rushing inside at the station. :-D Also when it's full, you have to go out in station and then return like Davin said.

[@turningoutthelights5645]

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

[@dunyannenbuyukwonderwomanh877]

Charmaine Lee BLINKKKK💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@supersonicfan990]

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.

[@niamhmcgrory1116]

Same but i wouldn't do it at a tabble

[@mncdssctn9110]

It depends on whether your armpits smell bad or not.

[@wesleyalan9179]

MncDssctn ...lol!

[@liliana8489]

Yh true

[@schoolwork5667]

Yeah I think its fine tbh

[@avaborho4646]

When people breath on me while they are sleeping

[@abcdef-mo3on]

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

[@lookabird6169]

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

[@GK-dt4gv]

Great. Everyone must learn it.

[@ramyadav1am195]

Thanks for updating

[@davinp]

[@serxnityugh]

Bright Side Thanks for telling us

[@vinonurhalim935]

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

[@adibmouhanna6823]

Thanks for the tipz

[@ravin.hiremath5257]

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

[@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

[@mdmaksudurrahman]

Thanks for sharing ot

[@mahdicadde1504]

Please could you do for us restaurant etiquette thanks 🙏

[@brucehughes8811]

Nooo

[@karlakirkpatrick8927]

tipping should be outlawed

[@606aichan7O7]

I thought it was already made?

[@laurenbahr3556]

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

[@sarahh1069]

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

[@danlaunder673]

run a muck? so they are playing in mud ?

[@ShilpaGautam]

Good info 👌👌👌🎈🎈🎈

[@GenjiPrime]

For #4, that's apply just about any place that drive on the left, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada etc

[@Sambhunath0310]

Very good lessons.

[@Youad_]

I NO

[@andreapatane4204]

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.

[@debjanisengupta9314]

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

[@Itsunknown10]

Stop downgrading them

[@Itsunknown10]

They have other things to do than listening to you

[@khushinijjar4764]

Very thanks 😎 I will do that what you should tell😇

[@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

[@adominator1591]

Chewing to loud smack and dont control their kids

[@punkemoandy]

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

[@tulsiram6144]

Nice information

Nicee ,i love it ,really it works😊😊😊👍👌☺️😊

[@isseinahahhaha3492]

I have ever hugged once by stranger in public transport and it makes me extremly uncomfortable

[@petercdowney]

I do take my rucksack off when I take the train, but only to prevent pickpockets from going through it. It is *not* an excuse to invade my personal space. I have a very strict *no contact* policy when I use any form of public transport.

[@thegamingomlet1526]

Little kids kick my chair when I'm sitting down

[@nandinisuranjan5304]

Amazing video gives a lot of knowledge of etiquettes

[@codonbyte]

Personally I hate it when people watch BRIGHT SIDE videos without headphones.

[@stijnstommen8861]

The most irritating thing on a train is that a person who travels alone sit at a place for 4

[@jonathanhearn7922]

Maybe that was the seat available.

[@R3UnionHD]

@@jonathanhearn7922 nah he prob talks about those succers who use them even tho there are free seats for less people 😤

[@mad-dog6669]

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

[@gazishariaralam7894]

This one is awsome,,,, i would like not like ,, love to visit JAPAN

[@NancyHernandez-hx1hj]

Another really annoying things that people do is record everything that’s going on in the pass just because one person acts crazy. It’s public domain but people still need to be notified that they are on KZbin or Facebook or whatever

[@christopherfletcher831]

Ever been on a long haul flight? The person in front WILL recline their seat! If you can not recline yours, but the person in front reclines theirs then you will have virtually no space. If you recline, the person behind can recline too meaning everyone is comfortable. Try a long haul flight before scolding others for a perfectly acceptable practice! I can do whatever I want with my seat, and so can the person in front if me. One exception, it's polite to be upright at mealtimes so the person behind can eat comfortably.

[@vananaan7764]

I’m just saying because someone is pregnant and everything we should help them of course but even if they have nothing wrong with them we need to help all people.

[@lebxxx9140]

i don't like rule 8 because in situations coming back from work and for example i'm 1st in the bus i choose 1 seat and then reclining it, there are no people behind me but when the bus becomes full they get mad of that because i want to sleep it not cool to work 11 hours per day and then someone no let you sleep in the bus,actually there is problem with the black driver they always try to turn over the bus and you can often fall from your seat

[@flavia9392]

Very good !

[@jutsnasinha8339]

I enjoy😃😃😃😃

[@Youad_]

big shout out to you

[@caroline_catbridges_kitty5384]

In America we just cram the escalator with a mob of people(if there is a mob of people)😂. If the escalator is broken use it as stairs if possible. 🇺🇸

[@ringo1692]

I always wanted to face the crowd in an elevator and say " I suppose you are wondering why I gathered you all together..." And see the reaction I get, lol 😂😂 😂

[@space3647]

I’ve never seen crammed escalators but I have seen crammed elevators

[@Redbelt0610]

people do need to learn not to stare or give anyone dirty looks and worse they wonder why people look at them or judge them by there cover.

[@dylonwalker7980]

12 is a must

[@starthedragon100]

How do I send this to the entirety of a mall? I feel like no one really knows rule number four, I never even heard of it myself..

[@francispalomo2201]

people talking to their friend that is far away from him.... therefore.. shouting.

[@606aichan7O7]

I just don't get the 'escalator' rule; I try to stand on the side the person in front of me stands on but it's almost always random (when I'm in the UK - so far, it hasn't happened during visits to other countries where I used an escalator) and people end up just standing wherever so sometimes I end up thinking people should stand in a zig zag like pattern (so you might not interrupt those in front and behind you???) In conclusion, there's not a lot of instances where I see everyone standing on one side....

[@jakjakchannel4646]

Great video 👍👍🤙

[@lewrenelamse9191]

IT time for the public to stop these big transportation businesses like these airplane co, Treat people like a herd of animals getting onto a plane, We can hardly squeeze into our seats especially people that are tall have no room for their legs ,set for 2 to 5 hours of travelling , I use to love to Fly I don't Fly anymore. , to many Bad experiences,

[@smitajky]

Look, the price is a function of the number of people that can be fitted. I can remember when only politicians and movie stars could afford to fly. 30 hours of discomfort isn't nice but hey, I can afford to fly around the world to visit my son. So I am more than happy to be crowded. I could pay five times as much for business class and be more comfortable but it isn't worth that much to me.

[@vijayatasingh9706]

Don't comment unnecessarily on anyone for anything which is beyond their control like someone's height or weight or complexion

[@RealETheMan]

Number 16 - Not only does it help reduce our burden and keep our things safe, but it also saves space and helps other passengers find a seat so that they don't have to stand up!! This is from my experience as a bus rider. (It's also helpful on any form of transportation in general.)

[@MoonDarkhollow]

Passing gas can probably be added to that list.

'So tired of this nanny state B.S. (not this video, but the general attitude of westerners), making children out of adults who should know better in the first place but feel obliged to ask the state - like a child asking their nanny - what the civilized course of action is. People who are so clueless deserve the ever-increasing regulation and surveillance of the N.W.O., but unfortunately they drag the rest of us along with them.

[@parezd]

I dont understand why some people rush in the train to take a seat and then in the middle od the way they stand up and go wait in front of doors

[@leahgracefecteau]

Great rules being kind is great but I have a mild mental disability and feet problems sometimes I have motor problems where I can’t balance the best though I can walk so why should my needs be less important the pregnant women for parents of small kids that’s choice having disability or being old is not and also excuse me if your just taking your kids to on play date for example find a less crowded bus not like you need to go to work or school and also why doesn’t the parent or care giver give them a seat makes more sense if they can

[@nellelphinstone8151]

why can’t i put my makeup on on the bus how does that disturb anyone else???

Staring at the people its feel me so awkward 😞😞😒

[@horusrage]

This is related to the smell thing. Personal Hygiene before you use the transport. People shouldn't have to smell just sweat from you and they will. Just try your best on this front though sometimes personal hygiene is not always possible but at least try to be presentable and as clean as you can be given the circumstances.
