Let's look at other alternatives
After all, isn't line 9 a bit of the same but more comfortable? Enough with the jokes, we know very well, we don't take line 8 for fun but because we don't have much choice. But after all, the nice days are almost here: it's time to make the most of that old b.Ike bought for a song on LeBoncoin or to use your legs for a short daily walk in the streets of Paris. Prioritize walking as much as possible, your overall well-being will thank you.
Opt for earphones or noise-canceling headphones
If walking isn't your thing, or at least, if an hour-long walk before hours of work isn't feasible (and we understand).So, if you want to fully enjoy your music without any distractions, maximizing your comfort is key. Choose headphones or a headset that block out as much noise as possible around you to immerse yourself in your own little bubble. You don't need to break the bank, some wireless earbuds do a great job at keeping out the noise for a minimal price. Voir cette publication sur Instagram
Respecting Each Other's Personal Space
When the subway is crowded, there are certain rules to follow. Put your backpack at your feet, let people out before entering, don't sit on the fold-down seats, don't lean your back against the central pole, don't play Instagram Stories without headphones with the volume all the way up... In short, we respect each other's personal space, so that ours is respected in return. And if someone doesn't follow the etiquette, don't hesitate to tap them on the back and kindly point it out. Let's avoid arguments before 8:30, okay?
Heading to the Ends of the Train to Score a Seat
There's no denying that standing and being packed like sardines during your trip is nothing compared to a nice, warm seat warmed up by our comfy behinds. To get one, it's simply survival of the fittest. Our trick is to head to the ends of the train, to get as close as possible to the.4 or 6 seat squares and be on the lookout for any movement. Unless you are really unlucky, at least one seat should become available at the next stations. But be careful, still be nice. We always give priority to elderly, disabled, or pregnant people, we are not savages.
Think about your colleague. Not just any colleague, but a colleague who shares the same daily commute as you. They may not be easy to spot, but take a closer look around. Seeing a familiar, almost friendly face amongst the crowd of strangers can bring a little comfort to your heart. 💛 #commuterlife #friendlyfaces
