By the end of the year, public transport prices must be increased by an average of 4.3 percent. Especially 2nd class passengers are affected, who, in contrast to 1st class travelers, will be more affected by the increase. This naturally causes red heads.
Now the solution would be for you, as a former wooden class commuter, to win the lottery and get a first class ticket.
But how do you behave appropriately in high society? We explain the 15 golden rules to you.
- The beautiful carpet is there to look at. If you meet familiar faces, you nod friendly, tap the brim of your hat and at most say ‘Ma’am’.
- Temper your tone. 1st Class is an oasis of peace, solitude and contentment.
- Fellow travelers are always addressed.
- laugh a class further? A grumpy look in their direction and, in excruciating cases, an indignant clearing of their throat should quickly solve the problem.
- Having a laptop on your lap sends the signal to your fellow passengers that you can afford the ticket, but work hard for it. Of course, out of respect, people don’t look at the screen.
- will be enjoyed
in the crook of your arm not. - If someone coughs, they get a Ricola. Rule number 1 again applies to future encounters.
- Whoever shouts loudly is, of course, punished with contemptuous looks.
- The same goes for 2nd graders who run through the hallowed halls looking for their chariot.
- As in 2nd class, the choice of seat is essential to the commute experience. If someone is already in a 4-person compartment, you have to keep looking. Anyone who has found a free block of 8 or 16 travels first class.
- After showing the ticket, the train staff is wished a nice day. This includes telling at least one little joke about life or chatting about the weather. After all, it seems to be particularly sunny on the Rigi today.
- If it is unavoidable to dine in 1st class, rubbish will be disposed of in the compartment’s own container. (Really just as a reminder that 1st class passengers have their own bucket.)
- Leave your sweatpants at home. It’s time to mothball your underpants again! Monocle optional.
- Sitting on the first class cushion is like being in seventh heaven. So don’t you dare stretch your shoes on the seat. And no, not even the socks! (Not even on the commuter sheet.)
- And, very important: alleged rabble is pointed out that it is second-rate. Of course, this is all done in a spirit of good nature. It would be a shame if an owner of a 2nd class ticket had to pay a fine just because he got lost.
And it looks like this…
