Call it the subway, tube or metro – for the most part, no matter where you are in the world, the same rules apply. Some expert advice from Ann Douglas Lott to help you out:

1. Let everyone on board get off before you get on.

2. If you’re standing in front of the door, step out of the car and onto the platform to let people off. Don’t worry, you will be the first one back on the train.

3. One hand on the pole, please.

4. Take your backpack off.

5. Generally, respect everyone’s personal space.
