Traveling by train: how to behave

To make your trip comfortable and cozy, you need to adhere to the simplest and most elementary rules of etiquette. And it does not matter how long you will be in the car or the train. Think about not to create conflict situations with your neighbors, spoiling your mood and trip not only to them, but to yourself. It should be noted that due to the knowledge of the rules of behavior you will be able to keep not only a good mood, but relationships not only during the journey by train, car or plane, but also during the whole vacation.


Remember that if you are traveling by train, then do not hand over your luggage to the luggage compartment, leaving everything you need with you. Often it is located at the end of your car. Yes, in that case you will not have access to your suitcases and you will not be able to use your things, but you will be vexing with your huge bags, moving them from one place to the other. If you decide to use the services of a porter at the station, then please thank him with a tip (as far as your budget allows you).

Remember that the first person in the train car must be a man or a younger one, but not a child. This is done in order to help children, women and the elderly to get up in the car, and also to lift and place all the luggage.

At the same time, every man, even if he has his own family, must examine the platform carefully and help those women whom no one disturbs, he must without fail help them to immerse the suitcases. And women in turn should not be embarrassed, especially if the baggage is large and you really need a man's help. Feel free to ask about it, a well-bred and decent man will never deny you.

If you are going to see off the whole family, then it is not necessary to stand before departure on the aisle to the car, blocking the way for other people.

If you have already settled in your place, then calm down and wait for the train to go, you do not have to bother with people sraussprosami about when to give bed linen, when they bring food orchai, etc. You can politely ask about it from your guide. If you need station schedules, then you can see it at the entrance to the car (as a rule, it is to the vishittam). Therefore, this issue will be solved without special difficulties.

If you have any question, then you must certainly specify the conductor of your car, and not the passenger who travels near the swami. And remember that you only need to pay for those services that are not stipulated in your ticket. If desired, at the end of the tour, you can thank the guide for his courtesy, kindness and care.

If you are traveling in a compartment, then when you enter, be sure to greet your companions. Men must remove their headdress. If you have a long way to go, then you can immediately get to know everyone, calling your name. But remember that this is not necessary.

In general, this is practiced if one sees that there is an interesting person nearby and I want to continue my acquaintance with him. If you go not alone, but with friends or relatives, then talk in a half tone, so that your conversations and discussions are heard only by you.

If you are bored, apopotents like, then you can start a conversation with them. However, it is not necessary to discuss acquaintances or someone without his presence. If you started talking about a top-level person, then do not sound his name or call a completely different conditional.

It is not worth while talking to the people with whom you just saw each other, boasting about your deeds, the achievements of your children, talking about getting used to the illnesses and annoy people with your worries, problems and personal matters.

Remember that when talking, you always need to observe the tact. If your fellow travelers with a hunt are talking, then you can continue and develop the topic further, but if everything is not so smooth, then it's better to be a little silent. There are situations when you travel with the restless companions, who just do not shut their mouths, and you are uncomfortable refusing. There is a way out! Start reading the magazine or the book. You can invite your neighbor to read something, but only after you have done it yourself. If your interlocutor reads, then impolite look at it in the book or ask her at this moment. When the fellow traveler has finished reading, only then can you ask for literature if she is very interested in you.

When you collect food on a train, if you do not plan to go to a restaurant-vvagon, think about how to put it into portions. Be sure to take your napkins with you, so that your hands do not stain the seats in the compartment and the table.

All that you do not eat, carefully collect in a garbage bag and carry it to a special garbage container, which is usually at the end or the beginning of the car.

It is worth remembering!

  1. It is not necessary to occupy a common table in the compartment for a long time. It is at least ugly.
  2. If your neighbor started eating, then be patient and do not make a bed at this time.
  3. If you bought a ticket to the top shelf, then go there as soon as possible, do not sit low down in a foreign place.
  4. If you decide to change clothes, then politely ask to leave the fellow traveler, you do not need to do it with him.
  5. Do not throw your feet on the next shelf, even if it's the place of your friend or relative.
  6. If you want to open a window, then check it with the coupons of your coupe.
  7. Do not bring in the passenger compartment of other passengers-guests.
  8. If you see that the train has almost arrived at the station, then collect all the things and get ready to leave.
  9. When you leave the compartment, say goodbye to your neighbors and wish them luck.
  10. As well as at the entrance, at the exit from the car the first man or the youngest by age must leave to help other passengers go down and take off their luggage.
