133. Public Transport Etiquette

Instructor: Alright, Emma, today let's chat about public transport etiquette. What are some dos and don'ts when using public transportation?


Emma: Hmm, well, one big "do" is offering your seat to someone who needs it more, like elderly people, pregnant women, or anyone with mobility issues.


Instructor: That's right, it's always polite to give up your seat to those who need it. And what about a "don't"?


Emma: I think it's a big no-no to play loud music without using headphones. It can bother other passengers.


Instructor: Absolutely, loud music can be quite disruptive. Now, let's practice some polite phrases. How would you ask someone for their seat politely?


Emma: Um, excuse me, could I please have your seat? My leg is injured.


Instructor: Perfect! Polite and to the point. And how about apologizing for accidentally stepping on someone's foot?


Emma: Oh, sorry about that! I didn't mean to step on your foot.


Instructor: Great job! Now, let's do a role-play scenario. You're on a crowded bus, and someone with a stroller gets on. What do you do?


Emma: I would offer my seat to them and help them get settled with their stroller.


Instructor: Excellent! That's exactly what you should do. Remember, being courteous on public transport makes the journey more pleasant for everyone. Keep up the good work, Emma!
