    • so which part of the train carriage do u prefer to stand, ie. when theres no seats left? lean on the glass panel? stand near door, or centre of carriage, or stand n lean near the adjoining part?

      n do u have to hold on to something or u prefer to balance urself? do u prefer to hold the metal poles or the triangular plastic dangling things?

      oh ya, i have a habit of holding on to 2 triangles with one hand, it gives better support n balance. do u?

      by the way, its irritating when people lean their back on the whole metal pole, n deprive others of holding.... dont u think so?

    • I prefer the 2nd and 5th carriage on unrefurbished C151 or C651. I will go to the end of the train on a refurbished C151 or C751B

    • If the train jerks and I bo balance, I'll grab anything I see.

      Anyway tried and tested, super embarrassing. icon_redface.gif

      Prefer to stand in the centre where seats are the most, so that can target anyone who will leave the seat after the next stop. icon_mrgreen.gif

      Ya, those people who lean on the metal pole are super irritating, someone's big butt touched my hand and damnit, my hand kena dirty. icon_mad.gif

    • i prefer to lean against the glass panel right next to the door. if it's more crowded i prefer to stand inside the connector between the cars. dont like sitting.

      if there are no seats available, i'll stand at the area where the carriages are connected but if there's no space there then I'll stand near a pole for safety reasons.

      do agree that some are very selfish who lean against the whole pole as if they were the ones who own it & that's why I'd still prefer the "3 way grab poles" whereby if one person leans against it, there's still space to grab

    • During peak hour, i'll stand on the other side of the door leaning against the glass panel.
      I'm always at the 4th door from the end (2nd last cabin) :p

      Only non-peak hr then i'll sit if many seats are available.

      How many of you who grab a seat then see an elderly or needy come in, will automatic give up the seat for them? xP

      when alighting, i always bulldoze through the pack of boarding passengers. those that never follow the yellow queue structure on the ground i'll purposely hit. so when the train about to stop, i'll see who is in the area for alighting passengers and they become my target!!!! devil.pngdevil.png

    • Stand at middle of 2 doors without holding on to anything, preferably between last and second last door of each car for maximum stability.
