5 Things You Should Never Do On Public Transit…For Your Own Sake

Never Fall Asleep

This one is a tricky rule, because I know how tired you can be after putting in more than eight hours at work, whether you expected to or not. But unless you’re one of those people with an internal clock that never fails, your best bet is to keep your head up and try to stay as alert as possible. Pick up a newspaper or magazine before you hop on your car or bus so you don’t nod off or straight up pass out. If you choose not to do these things, good luck! But don’t be surprised if you end up on a side of town the total opposite of where you live or even have knowledge of. Plus, I wouldn’t recommend sleeping around strangers anyway. If you know you can’t stay awake for a ride of more than 30 or 40 minutes, if you must, put your phone on vibrate, put it in your pocket, or hell, in your bra, and have it go off a few minutes before your stop is scheduled so you can pull yourself together and get off in time. But I wouldn’t risk it…
