The posters remind passengers of the subway to be courteous to one another in this latest 2013 series of etiquette posters. The manner posters include reminding passengers not to fall asleep in a way as to inconvenience others sitting beside you. A second poster reminds you to lower the volume. Another reminds you to give your seat away to people in need, like expectant mothers. While a blue poster tells you to refrain from bringing oversized baggages on the train.
