  Transport for London caused fear, shock, panic anddismay at Holborn station back in November whenthey piloted a new crowd control system that flew inthe face of traditional tube travel etiquette.

  去年11月,倫敦霍爾本車站試行了一項新的人流管控制度。這一新制度打破了傳統(tǒng)的地鐵乘車禮儀,讓倫敦市民惶恐、震驚、慌亂和沮喪。

  For three weeks, station staff actively encouragedtravellers to stand on both the left and right sides ofthe escalator, breaking the long-established 'standon the right, walk on the left' protocol, in the hope it would increase the number of peopleascending.

  連續(xù)三周,車站工作人員都積極地鼓勵乘客們在自動扶梯上站兩邊,打破了以往“右立,左行”的模式。他們希望通過此種方式能夠增加搭乘的人數(shù)。

  Analysis from the trial has shown that the rule did indeed help speed up the flow of people, withbottlenecks no longer forming on the right side, and TfL hasn't ruled out furtherexperimentation.

  對試行結(jié)果的分析顯示,不再限制人們站在右側(cè)確實(shí)有助于加快人群的流動。倫敦交通局可能還將做進(jìn)一步的實(shí)驗。

  But could commuters really handle such a seismic change? On an underground network thatclocks up some 4.2 million journeys every day, rules and decorum are essential to survival.

  但對每天通勤的乘客來說,他們是否真的能適應(yīng)這項巨大的改變?對于每天人流量達(dá)到420萬人次的地鐵交通來說,規(guī)則和禮儀是其正常運(yùn)行的重要保障。

  With this in mind, we reckon that if we are going to start tweaking the commute rule book, wemay as well add a few more while we're at it. Herein lies our definitive list to what not to do ona packed tube carriage.

  鑒于此,我們認(rèn)為,如果我們要對通勤規(guī)則進(jìn)行調(diào)整,那么我們不妨再增加幾條規(guī)定。下面這份清單列出了不要在擁擠的地鐵車廂內(nèi)做的事情。

  1. Starting to get on the tube while passengers are still getting off

  下車的乘客還沒下完就開始上車

  Because those two seconds are going to make all the difference...

  雖然只是兩秒鐘,但一切會大不相同……

  2. Not moving down the aisle

  在門口擠成一團(tuán),不往車廂中部走

  You may be a 43-year-old accountant with a penchant for Shakira's early oeuvre, the rest ofyour carriage almost definitely isn't.
