What is etiquette in transportation? Quite simply, it is consideration for the comforts and convenience of passengers. A woman who smokes in a crowded bus and pollutes the air everyone must breathe, a man who insists upon carrying a cumbersome package in a rush-hour subway and keeps clobbering his fellow passengers over the head - these people are not evil; they are simply thoughtless, oblivious of the discomfort and inconvenience they cause others. That is the reason why familiarity with the following "do's" and "don'ts" of transportation etiquette is well worth the few minutes needed to acquire it. Knowledge and observance of the "rights of way" apply, not only to transportation but to all other ordinary activities of life. Let us remember our manners always, regard others as our neighbors, and we shall find life's journey a much happier experience. Because our knowledge of both bus and subway transportation comes from a specific city, our examples are all drawn from that context. The basic principles we have used originated there, so if your familiar city bus line seems poorly planned to you, remember that it is based on those lines. We believe that these basic principles are adaptable to modification to fit cities which have unusually good mass transportation systems and to individual cities whose transportation problems are uniquely their own, such as irregular hillsides and residential needs. If you desire transportation suggestions, assistance will be happy to be of help to you.
