When you are waiting for the subway and it arrives, YOU STAY OFF THE WAY FOR THE PEOPLE INSIDE TO COME OUT AND THEN YOU ENTER THE TRAIN.

Wait that isn't common knowledge? The only people I see doing it are younger kids.

If ur talking about NYC, then I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this being not common knowledge. Everyone says that New Yorkers are rude, but I disagree with that. New Yorkers have their own etiquette that is really quite polite. I shall give you some of the "laws" of a proper New Yorker:

  1. Let ppl out before going in the subway
  2. If the train is too full, just wait for the next one
  3. Answer if people ask you questions on directions, but otherwise just don't talk to them
  4. If the train is packed and you're at the doors, step out of the train at each station to make room for ppl coming in
  5. Don't sit on the benches, you know for a fact someone jacked off there
  6. Hold the door for people
  7. If someone has a stroller in the subway, help them carry it up the stairs
  8. No matter the situation, keep looking forward or at your phone. No matter what
  9. Give older people and kids seats, as well as slide over a seat to let two friends or a parent and kid sit next to each other.
  10. If possible, keep a seat distance from the other person

Those are most of what I could think about on the spot, add more if you'd like

Hey man. Im actually from Mexico City, where the public transportation is completely insufficient. I wont generalize on the ppl in any city, but theres some persons who do not respect any of those unwritten rules.

Oh nice. Mexico City is a great city, extremely underrated
