Should Passengers Eat and Drink on Subway Trains?
In recent years, eating and drinking on subway trains have been found more and more common, which has triggered many problems. Thus, in some cities passengers are forbidden to do that and violators will be fined. There has been a raging debate over the new regulation. Some believe that eating and drinking don’t threat the safety of the subway operation and are not against any law and regulation. Others want to curb the bad behavior so as to make the public environment clean and tidy.
As far as I am concerned, eating and drinking on subway trains are indeed not proper behavior, but it is also not reasonable to deprive citizens of that right. On the one hand, eating and drinking on the subway trains should be discouraged. The government should attach more importance to educating citizens and appeal for cultivated and eco-friendly behavior on public transportation. Announcements and posters could be used to encourage people to create a better environment. On the other hand, it is every citizen’s legal right to eat and no one can deprive them of that. With regard to the pregnant, the elderly, the sick and the weak, the government can allocate them special room to eat and drink.
In conclusion, the behavior of eating and drinking on subway trains should be discouraged, but the right of people should be protected
