To encourage more respectful behavior, the railway company is launching a new poster campaign called “Because we are all on the same train”.
What could be better, to raise awareness of incivility in transport, than to list and quantify them? While a large proportion of travelers face it every day, an OpinionWay survey for Transilien SNCF comes to highlight them this Monday. First point: 8 out of 10 Ile-de-France residents are bothered by this rudeness, a rate which rises to 85% among working people – those who take transport during rush hours. By a reverse mirror effect, 2 out of 10 respondents consider that they are never confronted with these discourtesies.
Among the most common incivilities are keeping your headphones on during the driver’s announcements (46%), getting into an already full train by pushing rather than going into a less full car (23%), putting your feet on the seat (16%), not giving your seat to a priority person (16%), speaking loudly on the phone (13%). In terms of inconvenience, it is this last aspect which annoys Ile-de-France residents the most, at 35%. Putting your feet on the seat irritates 18% of travelers, while 17% of respondents are annoyed by the refusal to give up their seat to a priority person. Faced with this data, a large majority of Ile-de-France residents think they can change. 88% are also ready to no longer make loud phone calls.
