Train manners

Crossing your legs.. Spreading your legs wide, causing people around you discomfort, so you're not distruptive to the people standing, put your knees together when you sit.

Put your bags between your legs... Eventhough there are people standing before you, some people put their bag on the seat. It's difficult for people to say "Please, make some room". So many people can sit, put your bag at your feet, or on your lap. Let the seats fill.

Give your seat to elderly people... Older people, disabled people, pregnant women, and so on, should have priority. Rather than deceiving people by pretending to sleep, overall you will feel better for instantly standing.

Be carefull how you cary your wet umbrella... When you have a wet umbrella on a rainy day, for the sake of the people around you, fold it away, and put it out in front of you. It is best to put it in an umbrella bag.

場所をわきまえる……車内で化粧したり、床にしゃがみこんだりする人が目に付きますが、 　 どちらもルーズな印象を与えます。時間がない、疲れているなど、それぞれ理由があるに 　 しても、自分の部屋と公共の場の区別くらいはつけたいものです。 Bear in mind where you are...Doing your make up on the train, when you see people squating on the floor, they seem careless. Lack of time, tiredness, there are various reasons, they use the train like their bedroom.

Manners for using the phone

When you take the train, there are announcement saying "Please use your phone wisely". The sound of the ringtone and your voice should not be heard by the people around.
