Basic rules of conduct in public transport for schoolchildren

One of the main trends of the modern world is a constant movement, so it is not surprising that even children have to actively use public transport. Some parents sent them to school far from home, because teachers are better there, someone attends extra classes and classes after classes.

In the school or tour bus, children are accompanied by adults who are responsible for their safety and correct behavior, however, in ordinary public transport, the kid is left to himself and can get into an unpleasant situation due to non-compliance with etiquette.

Landing in transport, being an extremely simple procedure, still implies certain rules of decency. Their knowledge will help avoid a scandal at the bus stop.

• You should not try to enter the transport as soon as it arrives. It is more logical to first let out the passengers who want to get out of it. It is necessary to comply with all, but even if one was not formed, do not push, trying to get inside the vehicle as soon as possible.
• For a long time, the absolute rule of good tone for schoolchildren was to help when boarding a bus to retirees and pregnant women. However, today it is recommended to first ask whether it is appropriate. A person may be sufficiently independent to enter the salon without help, and others' touch or the fact of his perception by strangers as helpless can offend.
• Schoolchildren often carry with them a weighty briefcase or bag. If such a detail is worn on the shoulders, it is better to remove and hold it in the hands when landing.

Most often, a typical children's trip is limited to a few stops of public transport, but in large cities such a journey can be much longer. During the whole time spent on the bus, you will have to interact with people. Both action and inaction can cause praise or condemnation. In order not to show itself from the worst side, the child should remember simple recommendations.

• Many passengers will give way to a primary school student on their own, but in fact a child of this age can already go and stand. Polite in this situation would be to offer older people to the vacant seat or to offer the sitting passenger not to give up the seat.
• If the child himself is sitting, it makes sense to give place to those who need it - the same pensioners, mothers with small children, people with heavy bags. However, the same rule applies here as when boarding a vehicle - for a start, it is worth at least visually assessing the degree of need of a standing passenger in a free seat. If the decision to concede is nevertheless made, it must be accompanied by the words "sit down, please."

• In our time in transport, almost every person goes, if not with a gadget, then with a book in hand. Perhaps there are drawn or written very interesting things, but do not look over the shoulder of an unfamiliar passenger. Everyone has the right to personal space, because he is not obliged to put their preferences or classes for all to see.
• Public transport is not exactly the place where you need to clean up.To comb, or, moreover, girls are not recommended to be painted on the bus. This is not very decent and can interfere with other passengers.

Certain actions in a close circle of strangers can cause condemnation. There are several rules regarding what a student should not do when traveling in public transport.

• In any situation, you need to sit carefully, taking up only the space that is provided for the occupied space. This statement is especially relevant in the bus at rush hour. It would be wrong to take one place and half the aisle, when in the other half several people “crowded” at once.
• Self-care is good, but in the conditions of a tight, closed room with a lack of fresh air, even the best French perfume can be a problem. It is possible that someone present may be allergic to this odor, however, in conditions of an overcrowded cabin, a person cannot change the situation for good reason. Even if the passengers are not allergic, with a lack of air, they may feel dizzy from the strong odor.
• If you should not abuse the pleasant smells in the bus, then unpleasant - even more so. It is no secret that many types of delicious food can leave a bad breath, and in great cramped the possibility that the student can breathe to someone directly in the face. This does not mean that you should abandon your favorite food, but after taking fragrant food, it is desirable to at least use a refreshing chewing gum.
• The use of food in public transport is also considered to be incorrect. Its smell can interfere with someone, and the risk of staining the seat and other passengers due to sudden jerks of the vehicle is also not excluded. Of course, in conditions of a road that takes several hours, this rule is not considered valid. However, unaccompanied students are extremely rare in such situations.

• Modern gadgets allow interesting and useful to spend time on the road, but in the process should not interfere with other people. Loud extraneous sounds, be it music, film or game, can distract other passengers from their own thoughts or even annoy them because of the rejection of the content or headache.
• In rainy weather, an umbrella not only protects against precipitation, but also becomes a frequent cause of conflicts in public transport. In order not to touch people with a wet umbrella and not to spray water drops in all directions, it should be folded at the bus stop, before entering the bus. In the cabin, if possible, it is better to lower the folded umbrella, allowing the water to flow down. After exiting the bus, you need to open the umbrella not at the door, but walk a few steps away from other passengers, because otherwise they will be splattered with drops or even touched by the umbrella itself.
• There are cases when a child feels so bad that it is difficult for him to stand on his feet.
