Question: What are some rules you have to follow when taking public transportation?
Sample Answer (The AREA technique):
Answer: Some rules when taking public transportation include paying the fare, not eating or drinking, using headphones, not smoking, and giving up seats to elderly or disabled passengers.
Reason: These rules ensure a safe, comfortable, and respectful environment for all passengers using public transportation.
Example: For instance, if a passenger does not pay the fare, it can lead to penalties or fines and cause delays for other passengers. Similarly, if a passenger smokes or eats on the bus or train, it can create a nuisance and affect the health and safety of other passengers.
Alternative: Other rules may include using designated seating or standing areas, not playing loud music, or following the driver's instructions during emergencies or unexpected events.
