PETALING JAYA: Rapid KL has taken to social media to highlight examples of poor etiquette among commuters using its rail services.
In a picture posted on its Facebook page, a passenger is seen using the horizontal handrails in the train as if they were gym pull-up bars.
"These handle bars may be tempting for you to do chin-ups but bro, keep the gym workout at the gym," Rapid KL said.
In another post, a passenger is seen occupying two seats with his legs stretched out.
"Please refrain from putting your legs up on the seat for the comfort of others. Be an exemplary passenger who has etiquette when using public transport. You are our hero," it said.
Rapid KL also advised passengers to not eat and drink on the trains as it is prohibited.
The rail service gave an example by posting a picture of a group of young women drinking from a plastic cup on the train.
Additionally, it called on passengers not to place shopping bags on the seats, thus depriving other commuters of places to sit.
"To our loving passengers (if you are still unaware), plastic bags do not require a special seat on the train. Do give the unoccupied seat to a person who needs it," it said.
Netizens recently expressed disappointment with the behaviour of certain irresponsible parents riding on the newly opened Mass Rapid Transit Sungai Buloh-Kajang (MRT-SBK) Line.
Pictures, uploaded online by Facebook user Nana Abd Rashid, showed one parent hanging a pink baby cradle on a train railing, and another allowing his children to stand on the bench.
The MRT-SBK Line has been plagued by incidents of vandalism since it opened to the public on July 17.
Vandals have damaged specially designed benches in at least four underground stations and even broken a spotlight.
Rapid KL is the operator of the MRT-SBK Line, Kelana Jaya LRT Line, Ampang LRT Line, Sri Petaling LRT Line and the Monorail service.
