Home to a new mode of transport was the London. This city has introduced the basic rules of use. The metro, which we see today, began its history in far 1850.

From problem to idea

In the mid-nineteenth century in the British capital there was a problem of transportation of passengers. By the time the population reached two million and there was almost a critical situation with transportation. It was necessary to quickly and easily get to work to those people who lived outside of the city and its outlying areas.

terms of use subwayAt the time particularly well developed railway. A Londoners were 6 stations that were on the outskirts. There was one station in the center. But this number is not enough for comfortable movement. Many Railways on the streets of the capital to build was banned. This could disrupt the historically important architecture, and aesthetic appeal. This led to the fact that the endless flow of carriages and stagecoaches became a cause of congestion in the most popular area.

Plan into reality

The Problem was solved in 1863. It then came subway. January 10, launched the first line. Its length was 6 km. It was a breakthrough in the field of transport - new world that had its own rules of use. The subway quickly became very popular.

An Engineer from France Marc Brunel in 1818 invented the tunneling shield. With it paved the tunnel under the river Thames. The idea of this invention and launched the underground carriage.

For a Long time the construction was postponed. During the construction of the lines was demolished several houses. On the streets where they were working, stopped traffic.

The Project was assigned to a company of Metropolitan Railways, whose name translates as “the Metropolitan Railways”. This is the name today is used in many countries to refer to this mode of transport. Interestingly, the British themselves called metro word “underground”. In colloquial speech often use the word “tube” that is “tube”.

Nevertheless, the plan was justified. Such vehicles were moving faster than carriages and without traffic jams. In the first year the train transported 9.5 million people. Further, this figure only increased. Subsequently changing the mode of operation, the price of tickets and General rules for use of the subway.

The Idea of London was adopted by many other cities. In 1868 subway was opened in new York. Further initiative was taken over Chicago. Not far behind, and Europe. After the British capital the road for this train made in Budapest, Paris and Berlin.

Convenient and quick transport appeared in the USSR in 1935. The honour to open the first metro had Moscow. Further underground path paved in Leningrad, Kiev, and still ten major cities. The Soviet government gave permission to build only in those areas where construction was economically viable. Usually this is the city's number of residents exceeded 1 million.

The Word “underground” was coined by the writer Maxim Gorky. This title several times appeared in one of his works. Simple and easy marking of underground liked by the citizens of the USSR. Use it and contemporaries.

General rules for use of the subway

Definition

Overall, this vehicle has the same terms of use. The Metropolitan is usually an underground tunnel. Parameters and dimensions differ from country to country. The main features are the following factors: the use of electric traction, stable schedule, speed and a large number of passengers. Varies and the length of the lines. For example, in Israel, the path is laid for 2 km, whereas in new York the mileage is 1300.

Despite the fact that metro is essentially very similar to the train, it's a different type of transport, where there are laws. Many of them have a logical explanation and interesting history. The majority of the requirements were invented and introduced in the homeland of the tunnels in London.

Basic laws

There is a standard terms of use. The underground can be dangerous for the passengers failure to comply. It is forbidden to go beyond the yellow line. It is with the failure to comply with this rule accounts for the majority of accidents. Often this happens deliberately, with the intention of suicide. The edge of the platform, outlined with yellow paint, can be crossed only after a full stop of the train.

When the doors open, should give out to passengers who arrived, and already after to go in the car. In transport it is forbidden to pull over to the exit. You should move further away from the door so as not to disturb other people. For your own security, you should hold the handrails.

To your stop you need to prepare in advance, not after the announcement. Better to pack up and move to the center slowly, and not in turmoil.

Common behavior

Rules for use of the Metropolitan of Moscow, Saint Petersburg or any other city always the same. The passenger shall behave in a courteous and welcoming. Their place is to yield to older people, physically ill individuals, expectant mothers and women with children.

The basis of the overall comfort

The Safety of movement strongly depends on the passengers themselves. Slightly different from global norms domestic. There are unique rules for the use of the Moscow metro (and metro in other cities). It's prohibited to enter the roadway. It is impossible to put or throw in a track of some items. They can cause breakage of the car.

Under surveillance

The passenger infringes the rules of use of the metro is strictly punishable by law. Each of the standards aims to ensure the safety of citizens.

Customers will not be allowed to enter premises that are exclusively designed for staff. Also at individual stations or in the subway ever be banned video and photography. People should also keep in mind that they are in the subway for security purposes can around the clock to monitor hidden and open cameras.

Also at some stations missing trash cans. It is a deliberate action that prevents terrorist acts. If you notice a bag or box in the car or on the floor of the station, and the owner is not close this will be to inform the police.

Operation Mode

Usually, such transport is open from early morning until late at night. Currently, there are basic terms of use. Petersburg metro is open from 5.45-0.10 in the capital, he passes passengers from 6 a.m. to midnight. In Samara closes one hour earlier. During the holidays the operation mode can be changed. About it the staff structure inform you in advance.

One passenger is allowed to take only one additional seat. Card and the ticket does not allow you to carry things for free. Children under 7 years can ride without a ticket.

Code of conduct

There are certain conditions on the use of escalators. To stand on the canvas should face in the direction of movementtape. During transport, you should hold on to the handrail. When the track ends, you need to quickly go on the platform so as not to disturb the people who are behind you.

When the flow of customers and large get on the escalator with the specified administration side. Special attention should be paid to young children. While moving their hand you should not let go. It is better to keep the child in her arms.

The Luggage that goes with you must not remain unattended. The bag should not be released. To lift it needed after the end of the track.

You can Not leave your things without supervision. Their preservation is neither Moscow nor St. Petersburg nor the Samara metro. Terms of use note that for valuable items that you carry, have to watch yourself.

Dangerous area

Often in such places are thieves. They are carelessness of people and steal money out of your pockets and phones. Often, the crooks kidnap the mobile immediately after the exit of the subway. There it is easier to work because the subway network, and passengers, make calls, once come to the surface. Thus, they indicate where had been hidden the phone.

Many cars are not air conditioned, so in summer there is hot. In order for the heat to survive better administration recommends that you take along fresh water.

As in the underground may not have tanks, you should be clean and not to throw garbage at his feet.

Rules for the use of Petersburg metro, the Moscow metro and underground public transport of other cities normally the same and differ only in details. However, before I go into the subway, is once again read carefully the main rules of conduct in this place.
