Is it rude to talk on phone on train?

Privacy is a good thing and when you're on speaker phone all that privacy is well…all gone. In order to avoid other riders listening to both sides of your chat, avoid all speaker phone conversations at all times. With the engines, the chatter and the train stops, it gets loud on the train.

Nobody else wants to hear your conversation on the train. This doesn't mean you have to stop talking unless you are in a designated quiet train, but be mindful of the volume of your voice.

If you're going on a long train journey, you may want to choose a sleeper car option so you'll have more privacy and will arrive more refreshed at your destination. For shorter journeys, make sure to stay aware of your surroundings. If you don't feel safe falling asleep, then don't attempt it.

Stand back: Always stay behind the yellow lines at train stations. Enter or exit a station platform at designated areas. Stay off the tracks: Train tracks, bridges and yards are private property. Never walk, bike, skateboard or run on or along the tracks; it's illegal and dangerous.

In the high-tech world that offers you the opportunity to hail a ride through an app on your mobile phone, you might think it's easy to choose whether you would like a man or a woman driver. Not so fast — neither Uber nor Lyft offer you the choice to choose the sex of your driver.

Whenever possible, sit in the back seat, especially if you're riding alone. This helps ensure that you can safely exit on either side of the vehicle to avoid moving traffic, and it gives you and your driver some personal space.

Not really rude but some drivers prefer you dont upfront. Obviously if there are 4 pax one will need to sit upfront. I personally dont care we pax sit. The only thing I suggest is if you sit upfront dont touch the radio.
