There are a lot of impolite behaviors in public transport in the world, such as eating and drinking, lying down, playing loud music, manspreading and so on.

Manspreading is used to describe the posture of men who open their legs too wide and take up neighboring seats.

In Spain some signs are put up in the buses to try to discourage the practice. It is said that the new signs are intended to remind people to respect the space of all bus passengers.

The bus company came up with the suggestion in partnership with a women’s group. They demanded online that such signs must be placed. They said, “All public transport has signs explaining that room needs to be made for pregnant women, people with babies, older people and the disabled. But there’s something that affects all of us, especially every time we use public transport: manspreading.”

Manspreading is also common on the underground. To stop people using the posture that makes others uncomfortable, three years ago, the New York subway began to work out the problem with a set of activities called “Stop the spread please. It’s a space problem.”

In an effort to further clean up the underground, and to make the journey more comfortable for pregnant ladies and those with children, women-only carriages have been introduced to some Chinese cities’ underground during rush hours. They tried to provide the service for the public, with each train having one “ladies-first” car. Male passengers are encouraged to avoid the cars during morning and evening rush hours.

“We hope that every passenger can enjoy a happy and comfortable journey. Travel will be happier, if we treat others with good manners,” a leader of an underground company said.
