subway and bus etiquette

Based on the article I posted from am ny on my fb pg I came up with some subway etiquette of my own they just did a pretty basic run down. 

  1. Move away from the doors please how else will we enter and exit the train?
  2. Let others off the train first instead of running inside like a herd of cattle
  3. The word excuse me should be a daily part of your vocabulary
  4. Unless you're a DJ and want us to get up and dance to your music, that's the purpose of headphones use them
  5. Cell phone we all talk and use our cell phones but please be mindful I as well as others don't care to hear about your last night escapade, drama, etc. etc. sometimes I just feel like saying stfu or "tell the whole world"
  6. If you bump into someone apologize it will save you a lot of grief
  7. Don't hog up the pole especially when the train is crowded hold it like the rest of us do
  8. Sit on the seat right especially for men I understand you need space but not that much
  9. Respect others personal space
  10. Please practice good personal hygiene no one wants to smell your BO or your bad breath! especially if a train is crowded and I have no where to go to escape!
  11. Please keep pdas private a kiss or hug or hand holding is ok but down right make out sessions keep it private or rent a room
  12. Eating try not to if you must please clean up after yourself. 
  13. Subway performers if you see that you're not getting anyone's attention proceed to the next car and try your luck there
  14. Don't sneeze out in the open!  It spreads germs.  Cough into your elbow not on the subway pole
  15. Keep your bags off the seats and PLEASE hold on to the pole so you don't fall into anyone's lap.
  16. One size doesn't fit all if you don't fit in a seat or space don't try to squeeze into it and bang people on the sides
  17. If you're waiting for the bus for 15 minutes or more don't wait till there's a whole crowd of people waiting to get on the bus to finally realize your metrocard has a zero balance, this is a no brainer especially if you're right across the street from the train station!!!!
  18. If you have no money don't get on the bus! We all have places to go and people to see!
This is based on my daily commute back and forth to work around this great city of ours.  Your feedback is welcomed.
