十大不當乘車行爲 大聲說話居首

Taking the train in Japan and want to avoid annoying fellow passengers? Keep conversation to a whisper, turn down your iPod and put your cellphone on vibration mode, a recent survey by the railway association showed.

Many foreigners who ride on Japan's vast network of subways and commuter trains complain about the pushing and shoving that accompanies getting into the train and the reluctance to give up seats for senior citizens and pregnant women.

But for Japanese commuters, noise is the biggest issue, with loud conversation and music from headphones the top two offenders and cellphone ringtones in fourth place, the survey by the Association of Japanese Private Railways showed.

Applying make-up ranked as the sixth-biggest breach of rail etiquette, worse than being drunken, which at number 9 just edged out bringing strollers onto crowded trains.

Here are the top 10 examples of bad rail manners according to the association's online survey, with responses from about 4,200 people:

1. Noisy conversation, horsing around

2. Music from headphones

3. The way passengers sit

4. Cellphone ringtones and talking on phones

5. Pushing, shoving when getting on and off trains

6. Applying make-up

7. Littering

8. Sitting on the floor of the train

9. Riding the train drunk

10. Riding a crowded train with a child in a stroller

日本鐵路協會日前開展的一項調查顯示，在日本乘坐列車時如果不想惹惱同車的乘客，那麼說話時儘量小聲，把iPod音量調小，並把手機調成振動模式。

很多乘坐日本地鐵和列車的外國人抱怨人們在上車時總是推推搡搡，而且很少有人主動給老年人和孕婦讓座。

但據日本民營鐵路協會的調查顯示，對於日本的通勤者們來說，噪音是最令人頭疼的問題，其中，大聲說話和耳機裏傳出的音樂最爲惱人，手機鈴聲排在第四。

在車上化妝位居第六大無視乘車禮節的行爲，醉酒排在第九位，位居其後的是將嬰兒車帶上擁擠的列車。

共有4200人蔘與了該協會的在線調查，調查列出的十大不當乘車行爲如下：

1. 大聲交談，瞎鬧

2. 耳機中傳出的音樂

3. 坐姿

4. 手機鈴聲，講電話

5. 上下車時推推搡搡

6. 化妝

7. 亂扔垃圾

8. 坐在車廂地板上

9. 醉酒

10. 用嬰兒車推着孩子乘車
