We know it's comfortable standing against the doors.
You have both hands available to turn the pages of
your book or play games on your cell phone. And you're
the first one off the train when it stops. Besides,
you hate holding onto those handrails.
But how much does it irk you when your train pulls
up and you can see there's plenty of room for you
to get on, if everyone would just move into the car?
What about when you're trying to get off the train
but people on the platform are pushing to get on?
Couldn't they just stand to the side and wait for
exiting passengers first? Ughh!
So annoying, right?
Well, aside from being annoying to other passengers
and causing unnecessary delays, leaning against doors
is also a dangerous risk.
Haven't you been so involved in your book or daydream
that you didn't realize the train had reached its
next stop?
Be a courteous commuter and a careful one as well.
Move into the car. Give your seat to an elderly
or disabled person.
