Why do Japanese people never use cell phones when taking the subway?

It seems that the mobile phone completely disappeared when the Japanese stepped onto the subway.

If you have experienced one time on a subway in Japan, you will be surprised to find that the mobile phone seems to be an invisible object here.

Because most people when they step on the subway or public transport turn off the bell, even turn off the power . In case of an important call, they will reluctantly catch the phone but talk very small, and just a few sentences then off with embarrassment and embarrassment.

Why?

That's because Japanese people respect personal privacy. You know, the Tokyo trains are always full, especially at peak hours in a state of congestion.

It is normal for you to be "inserted" by the station staff, trying to cram on the train and close the door.

It is common for you to suffer a little pain to get "stuffed" on board.

In such a cramped space, the fact that you pull up your phone and listen will greatly affect those around you.

Not only that, because of being too busy, many Japanese people often read books or take a nap when taking the subway. You will be deemed to cause public disorder and make people around feel uncomfortable if they use the phone or talk loudly.

And if it's a controversial phone call, it's likely you will be invited down at the next station.

Many Japanese people take advantage of sleeping or reading books on the train, the use of the phone will affect people around.

Japanese people not only respect privacy, but also discipline. On all the cabins, there is a sign that requires passengers to turn off the bell, turn off the phone and they only need to abide by this rule.

If it is a controversial phone call, you will probably be invited down at the next station.

But perhaps more than anything, in such a small space, even though the passengers are not used to each other, you don't want your private conversation to get into the ears of the person nearby, right?
