The basics of riding the New York City subway.

1. Give up your seat to an elderly person especially a female.
2. Wait until everyone exits unless there is a clear in and out lane.
3. If you lollygag and don't make moves to get out especially when it's crowded don't expect the people to wait for you.
4. Don't put your whole body on the pole so when the train moves you aren't all over someone else's hand.
5. Don't stop on your way up or down a staircase unless you want people to curse you out.

And last but certainly not least....

6. Please be quiet. No one wants to hear your conversation.

Almost every ride I take, I am witness to one or more riders who just don't have a clue. Please take these as life tips for surviving in the city. Remember. If you see something, say something.
