Eight Simple Subway Rules

How to behave on the subway.

  1. Stay to the right; on the stairs or moving trough the passageways to different train, keep on the right.
  2. Have your tokens or pass ready when you get to the turnstile.
  3. Wait for people to exit before you get in.
  4. Offer your seat to anyone who might have a difficult time standing-such as someone with a lot of packages, an elderly person, a person carrying a small child, or a pregnant woman.
  5. Be careful with your backpack. It's easy to knock into someone behind you and never even know.
  6. Don't horse around on the subway platforms.
  7. Don't lean up against the pole as if it were the wall. That makes it difficult for anyone to else to hold on.
  8. Don't put your packages on the seat next to you unless there are many empty seats in the car.
