  1. When sitting on the inside seat and you have to get off, gently tap or make eye contact with the person sitting next to you and say "please excuse me. I am getting off at the next stop, thank you."

It is a total asshole move to simply stand up or give a demanding energy glare for them to get up for you.

  1. Also, if you are healthy enough with no mobility, knee or back issues offer your seat up on a crowded bus/ train to the elderly, pregnant, or physically struggling.

  2. If someone is already sitting in a two seater space with their child, ask the parent if your child can share the space with them. I think it is so rude to make assumptions and decisively invade people's personal space by inserting your kid between them.

  3. Be aware of your surroundings when you walk on the platform by not making sudden stops. If you need to organize yourself pull over to a well lite corner or bench.

  4. If there is a problem on the train. De- esculate the issue as soon as possible by getting to a safe place and hitting the call center button on the next train car to report the incident to the operator or get off and report it to the station manager.

  5. If you or anyone falls/ gets hurt, or has a complaint write down the bus number, time, and approximate location and call (202) 637-7000. Thanks. 😊
