It's not a rulebook by any means, but for heaven's sake people, have some decency and at least try!!!



Guidline 1: If you have to sneeze, please don't sneeze into your hand and then put it back on the pole your holding onto so other people catch your cold, switch hands.
Combat strategy 1: Carry a bottle of trusty anti-bacterial hand gel in your bag and use it generously to fight off nasty germs.

Guideline 2: When you need to get off the bus, at least make an attempt to move toward the exit so that the bus doesn't start to leave and you're left hollering "back door"
Combat strategy 2: Buses get full and sometimes it's tough to get to a door, intentional boy placement is the key. Make sure you're aware of when you need to get off so you can begin the exiting process by gradually moving closer to the door.

Guideline 3: When the bus is full, try your best to move to the back. People like me want to get to school on time. We can't get on the bus if the bus driver thinks the bus is full! Move back!
Combat strategy 3: You can try to hop on the back of the bus when it stops if the driver refuses to open the front door, but beware the wrath of the driver if you are caught.

Guideline 4: When an elderly person gets on the bus, stand up and give them your seat, unless you're suffering from severe leg cramps or you stepped on a nail etc.
Combat strategy 4: If you really need a seat, head toward the back of the bus.

Guideline 5: When you're looking for a seat, it's usually kind to move toward the window of the bus to allow others the opportunity to sit down.
Combat strategy 5: Work up the guts to ask people to move over if need be, or you'll be left standing.

Guideline 6: When the bus arrives, please don't create a mass mosh pit to get on, people like me get trampled. Order is pivotal.
Combat strategy 6 a: Attempt to position yourself where you think the bus will stop so you can be one of the first people on and avoid the pushing.
Combat strategy 6 b: Walk to another bus stop that isn't as crowded perhaps before the full one to get on first and even guarantee a seat.

Guideline 7: Say thanks to the bus driver, it's just polite.
