    Those interested in questions of style may not have read instructions relating to the preferred manner of entering and exiting a carriage on Brisbane’s rail network. Here they are for your interest:

    Six steps to a better journey
I. Always have a valid ticket prior to travelling.
II. Allowing others to step off the train will present you an opportunity to board the train unchallenged.
III. Move inside the centre of the carriage to allow others to board freely.
IV. Ensure the safety of all by placing bags under the seat and away from doors and walkways.
V. Using headphones and keeping volumes down will guarantee uninterrupted enjoyment of your music.

VI. Consider where the soles of your shoes have been and keep your feet off the seat.
