The subway handrail tells you the safety strategy for the elderly to take the subway

In daily life, the elderly often need to pay special attention to safety when traveling outside because of their physical inconvenience. The subway is a crowded space. The elderly should pay attention to the following points when taking the subway:

1. When entering the station

The elderly should wear comfortable and anti-skid shoes when traveling, and try not to wear slippers and unsuitable shoes when going out. When entering the station to take a bus, pay attention to all kinds of safety signs placed in the station, such as "Be careful of slippery ground", "Under maintenance", etc. Under special circumstances, please follow the instructions of the staff and wait at the designated place.

2. When taking the escalator

When taking the escalator, the elderly should pay attention to holding the handrails and standing firmly with their feet. They should not lean against the white steel plate on the side of the escalator, so as to avoid falling to the maximum extent and ensure the safety of themselves and others. If the elderly carry large bags and small bags with both hands when traveling, they will naturally have no time to grasp the handrails, so they should try to travel lightly to ensure safety.

3. When getting on and off the train

The elderly have inconvenient legs and poor eyesight. When getting on and off the train, their body coordination is poor. If they speed up a little to catch up with getting on and off the train, they may lose their balance and fall down. Therefore, the elderly should try to take the subway with the company of their family or friends. At the same time, they should be prepared in advance, pay attention to keeping their bodies stable, and do not grab up or down, so as to avoid potential safety hazards due to collisions and crowding.

4. In the car

Many elderly people don't often travel by subway, so they feel very strange when taking the subway. They may hold the wrong position or can't find the handrails during the train operation, so they are prone to fall down. Therefore, the elderly must stand firmly and hold well in the train, and try to stand at a position where they can keep their center of gravity stable and lean on. At the same time, Hefei Metro calls on young passengers to help as much as they can if they see elderly people around them when taking the subway.
