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

NEVER Start a Conversation With a Stranger

I’m not trying to be mean when I say this. But look, how long are you really about to be on the train? If it isn’t a long time, then put those earbuds in your ear, read a book, and keep your eyes down and to yourself. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve hopped on public transportation and had someone think I just felt like talking to them and hearing their life story. Taking a bus home from school for the holidays a couple of years ago, I had an ex-convict (that’s what he told me) talk my ear off for MORE THAN AN HOUR! What could I say, he was terrifying! Keep yourself looking busy and mind your business if you can, because some people look your way, and if you lock eyes, they might get started and won’t know or won’t care about when they should stop. Letting someone know a certain stop is available is on your train is one thing, but having to sit next to a modern day Forrest Gump (but without the charm) is just straight wack! You see that stop coming up? Is that your stop? It is now…run!
