City ettiquette

Everything you need to know and obey in the city (mainly for International students)

1) Stand on the left side of the escalators. That way there'll be room for those need to move quickly.
2) When someone says excuse me MOVE ASIDE- or you'll be pushed
3) Wait in the queues- you have to queue for everything. Some people love to be pushy especially if they are in a hurry.
4) If you have a pram, suitcase or a heavy box use the lift instead as it is for that purpose. You're inconviecing others (and yourself) if you use the escalators
5) Don't stop in the middle of a walkway even just to admire the scenery- KEEP MOVING!!!!! The person behind you might need to go somewhere. They might get angry if you don't move.
6) With beggars and some salespeople offering you stuff you can just simply ignore them unless you really want that thing. There are people selling Big Issue ( a magazine) on the streets and some of our friends say its great. If you have a few dollars to spare it is worth buying.
7) When in a train/tram/bus and its standing room only- move the down the aisle if you can.
8) If a train/tram/bus is completely full (which can happen during the peak hour) wait for the next one. Or walk. Don't just push everyone in.
