“Hi, I am travelling by train today, and I have noticed something: some people lack basic etiquette. They do not use headphones and fail to mind their own business, making everyone else a part of it. I don’t want to listen to your music, nor do I want to know what you are listening to, but you don’t give me peace for nine to seven hours while travelling. So please have some etiquette and learn that, and also please teach your class. Thank you,” she said.
Her video pointed out a common issue faced by many train passengers, especially on long-distance journeys, where loud music, videos and speakerphone conversations can disturb those who want to rest, work or simply enjoy a quiet trip.
Public transportation often calls for people to share crowded spaces for several hours, making simple routines such as using headphones an important part of being considerate towards fellow passengers.
