1) Have Your Music Really Loud
You might enjoy listening to some music that you are really into at that time and then you decided to play it out loud on public transport. Unfortunately, some people do not. Nor do a significant number of other people you are forcing this on.
2) Fail To Give Up Your Seat To Someone Who Needs It
Nothing makes a lot of people angrier than seeing a young, sparkling with an energy-type person sitting down and then wilfully ignoring the very pregnant or very old person in front of them. That is actually very rude for many people.
3) Failure To Queue
The world could descend into anarchy and somewhere, we would still be queuing. Failure to adhere to the queuing rules is unforgivable. People just need to learn and be patient while they are waiting for their turn to get into the public transport without making a scene.
4) Obnoxious Behaviour
Talking loud, littering everywhere and making a mess in public transport would be some of the most obnoxious behaviour that people could do while they are in there. Learn some manners before you decide to join the community.
5) Failure To Let People Get Out Of The Public Transport First
Everyone knows that you have places to be and you need to be there quickly. Unfortunately, some things just need to have patience when doing it. For example when you wanted to get into public transport. To make the process go well, you need to let the people inside get out first before you can enter the public transport.
