It is often said that it is ok to use cell phones in public transportation because people have emergency matters.It is often said that using cell phones in public transportation is acceptable because people have emergent matters. However, I believe that it using cell phones in public transportation should not be allowed for two reasons: for safety, and for the other's sake. consideration of others.
To begin with, using mobile phones in public transportation can be dangerous. This is because ringing phones and people talking on the phones can distract bus drivers from driving, and signals of cell phones can cause malfunction of air plane devices. According to a study conducted by Seoul National University of Korea in 2007, 80 percent of car accidents related to bus bus accidents were resulted from drivers' disorientation, which was caused by noise generated by passengers on the phone. This implies that cell phone noise can diretly affect the safety of the passengers and drivers in public transportation. is a crucial factor affecting bus related car accidents.
In addition, using cells in public transportation annoys makes other people around annoyed. It is obvious that people try to use public transportation mainly for commuting after a long exhausting day. Most of people feel tired and want to have a quite moment to relax, but others talking on the phone keeps those people from taking a rest. According to a study conducted by Seoul Metro of Korea in 2009, researchers put putted two groups of people in two subway trains with different environments: train A with five guys who are talking on the phone, and train B without them. After ten minutes, the researchers assessed the stress level of each groups. The result shows that stress level of group A is five times higher than that of group B. This shows that cell phone users raise stress level of others.
In brief, using mobile phones in p.t. should be prohibited in public transportation because it is dangerous, and it irritates people. All in all, we should be more discreet and considerate of others when it comes to using cell phones in public transportation. |
