Coughing and sneezing most annoying behaviour on trains

A recent study from the Japan Private Railway Association (JPRA) reveals that coughing and sneezing were the biggest (annoy) on trains. A total of 5,314 train passengers responded to a JPRA survey on behaviour and manners on trains and at stations. "Coughing and sneezing without consideration for others" topped the list of passenger gripes. An association spokesperson attributed this to (remain) effects of Covid-19. He said: "The coronavirus pandemic may have ingrained the (important) of consideration for others as a norm." He added: "More people (like) feel greater (anxious) than before the pandemic when someone nearby coughs or sneezes without wearing a mask."

The JPRA has been conducting its polls since 1999 to gauge how people feel about their fellow passengers. It hopes to promote better behaviour in the future. It said 50.5 percent of survey (respond) cited coughing and sneezing as their top annoyance. Other sources of (irritate) on trains included people stretching their legs, people not moving over to make space for others wanting to sit down, and noisy (converse). The JPRA added that "strong scents from perfume or fabric softeners" and "poor manners during (board) and alighting such as blocking doors" were fourth and fifth on the list. The number of riders has increased on Japan's trains due to a rise in (tour) visiting Japan.
