How to Travel by Train
●

Avoid eating. Candies or mints are fine, but consuming a burger or sandwich while the car is packed is considered rude.
Do not occupy the seats reserved for the elderly, handicapped and pregnant women. These seats are labelled and are usually found
in the corners.
While waiting for your train, make sure to wait behind the yellow lines on the platforms. Once your train arrives, do not run
straight into the car as soon as the doors open. Wait for the arriving passengers to disembark. Patiently form a line and wait
for your turn to enter.
