Rules of conduct in railway travel.

For some, the railway journey causes indescribable delight, others are neutral about it, and for some, the trip is basically discomfort. In a word, people are different, but everyone rides in the same car with you. To what type you do not consider yourself, it is worth knowing certain rules of behavior that will make the trip comfortable not only for you, but also for your neighbors. In some places, the advice will be banal, but this does not mean that they do not need to be followed.

Probably, the first impression of the trip begins with the platform. Those who are in a hurry to get into the car can spoil the mood. The reasons for the rush may be different for everyone, but respect for others should be preserved. And even more so, the train will leave exactly on schedule. Do not push or push those entering the car. If you are not a single traveler, according to the rules of etiquette, a man enters the car first. He helps women and children to come in and bring their luggage. In addition, a guide can also help with this. Contact him with this request, if necessary. Just be patient, before poisoning the train, the conductor's task is to check all tickets and seat passengers in their seats. Therefore, in order not to create a large queue, you may be asked to wait a little, or they will help you right away. You can also politely address other passengers.

It is better to say goodbye to the mourners on the platform, so as not to create a crowd in the car and not to interfere with the arrangement of your fellow travelers. If the escort needs help with luggage or other, then he should not stay long in the car so that there is no jostling. In addition, take the seat indicated on the ticket, and put your luggage in the designated place. The lower shelves of luggage are left at the bottom, the upper ones are removed upstairs. Of course, if you politely agree with your neighbors, a different arrangement of luggage is also possible. Remember that we are all people and sometimes we make mistakes, so if we accidentally took someone else's place or found out that yours was taken. It is worth politely reporting this, apologizing to the person who made the mistake. If doubts remain, do not lead to a conflict, contact the guide who will judge everyone.

So many times already said about politeness, almost forgot about the most basic. Greet the conductor when boarding, and also say hello to the neighbors. You will be with these people until the end of the trip. It is not necessary to get to know and talk to everyone, but you can create a favorable atmosphere. After the departure of the train, endless walking begins, everyone takes apart suitcases, masters shelves, changes clothes. Remember that these are temporary inconveniences, so be polite and respect your neighbors.

You don't have to talk to fellow travelers, so you can set boundaries right away. Also, do not distract people from reading, listening to music and other things yourself. We recommend that you immediately coordinate the use of the table with your neighbors. Of course, diplomacy will be needed here. We have already talked about this more than once.

But if you immediately agree on who and when eats from the upper shelves, it will be easier for everyone. In addition, if you are from the top shelf, respect the place of the neighbor from below. Do not sit on his bed linen, ask him to roll up the bed, and do not delay spending time in his place. You need to be prepared for the fact that most of the time you will be at the top, if other diplomacy with fellow travelers does not work.

It is also ugly to leave behind garbage, crumbs, half-eaten food. You should change clothes in the toilet, or ask the neighbors on the reserved seat to go out. Or warn them about it, if they wanted to get out anyway.

In the evening, conversations should be translated into a whisper, if you see that the neighbors are sleeping, try not to make noise. Remember that loud conversations, like loud music, can cause discomfort to others. Be careful, if someone is carrying hot tea, skip it, otherwise the boiling water will be on you. And the tea bearer should not pour water to the brim, so that it does not accidentally burn either you or the neighbors.

We understand that it is not always possible to agree with everyone, so do not stir up a conflict. You should not spoil your mood first of all, so call a conductor who will judge everyone according to the rules of passenger transportation.

As you can see, the rules of behavior are based on politeness and mutual respect. Remember that everyone's goal is to get to their destination. Do not create discomfort for yourself and others. These are not complicated rules that will allow you to leave a positive impression of the trip. And what rules do you follow when traveling by rail?
