BANGKOK, April 29 (TNA) – Bangkok Mass Transit System PCL (BTS) asks its electric train passengers not to sit with their legs crossed.

 

Thapakorn Meesa-ad, chief of BTS's Mo Chit station, said that the company made the request for cooperation because the passengers who sat with their legs crossed proved to block others' ways and their feet touched standing passengers.

Especially during rush hours, standees had to squeeze into one another to avoid the feet of passengers sitting with their legs crossed. Besides, women sitting with crossed legs might be vulnerable to upskirt photography, he said.

Here’s an idea - don’t walk into people’s legs.

Here's an idea - get your feet out of the way of other passenger's legs, keep them on the floor.

I agree with this request.

And how about also asking passengers not to lean on the bars during peak hours?

Does that mean up-skirt photography isn't banned also then?

There's actually an information video that plays on the screens addressing just this (along with hot food bags and other annoyances). I think I've actually seen it once on the trains in between the (paying) advertisments.

ser, why are hot food bags an "annoyance"? I don't catch the BTS very often and when I do I've yet to encounter such outrageous behaviour.

Personally I find ppl who wear their backpacks inside confined spaces to be the most annoying.. ????

The video shows a passenger getting "burnt" by a naked bag of soup, solution put it in a fabric bag.

These videos play on loop in the BTS Admin building elevators, hence I've seen all the ruddy things a dozen times a day ????

The girls in the vids are all cute ???? 

I was almost in shape to do my Sharron Stone impression....

 

Here's a crazy idea. How about just requesting "Please be considerate of others".

I usually only go one stop so I stand in the doorway and don't get to see such videos. all I ever really take notice of are the station announcements because the voicever chick pronounces them correctly. at least I assume she does as she rolls her rrrrrs ????

Propose to sit with legs wide open.

Can you just imagine walking past someone and brushing against their shoes? The horror of it. The dread. I can see why this is such a high priority. As a society we must stay focused on the really important stuff.

She's a Thai actress, "k. Ratclao" or something like that.

Again it expresses the freedom of Thailand... almost nothing is allowed anymore as THailand means Free Country.....

Passengers were asked to not cross their legs, nothing is being forced.

Tell him to shut up for a moment.
Can't hear his voice anymore.

 

Please

Perhaps Angela Rayner can offer some thoughts? (Apologies to any non-Brits).

Yay! I always knew manspreading was the way to go, and now it's official!

 

Freight is charged by the kilogram. Why not humans? Shouldn't heavier people pay more? Same for the airlines....

Next time on the BTS I shall wear a kilt and spread my legs to benefit form the aircon.
