Young people are flocking to check-in at the Metro wearing "sleazy" clothes. Should this be strictly handled?

Recently, the trend of checking in on the Metro train has been increasingly popular among young people. However, many young people have made the online community feel extremely uncomfortable when following the trend in a ridiculous way.

After 2 months of official commercial operation, Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien metro line 1 is still a hot spot, attracting a large number of people to experience in Ho Chi Minh City. Not only looking forward to using high-end facilities, moving to different locations quickly - neatly - conveniently, metro line 1 is also known as an extremely cool "virtual living" place. Because no matter which train station you stop at or quickly take a photo of any angle, photography enthusiasts can "pick up" a "basket" of beautiful photos to bring home. Therefore, for Gen Z, this is considered the newest "virtual living sanctuary", super modern and will definitely produce frames with millions of likes.

However, besides the beautiful images, there are many recent cases that have made people feel hurt and strongly reflected when wearing ridiculous clothes to take pictures at the metro. Wearing inappropriate clothes in public places not only makes people around feel unhappy, but also affects the common space.

Social media was outraged when a photo of a girl wearing a revealing two-piece outfit, wearing a fur coat over it, confidently posing on the train surfaced. It is worth noting that at that time, the train was still quite crowded, but the girl still took photos with a sexy, seductive look.

The incident has not yet subsided, in a photography group, a similar photo series taken at An Phu station has appeared. The female model in the photo series also wears sexy clothes, continuously posing from waiting chairs, stairs to other public spaces at the station. According to Urban Railway Company No. 1 (HURC1 - the operator), the unit encourages everyone to capture beautiful moments with metro No. 1, but must comply with regulations. Do not use tripods, do not turn on flash, and professional and commercial photography must be contacted in advance.

In particular, it is important to note that you should not stand in dangerous positions such as near the platform door or in the middle of the aisle during rush hour. It is strictly forbidden to activate the emergency button on the escalator to take photos. "The station staff is responsible for reminding, but the force is limited and cannot control every passenger. The most important thing is still the awareness of each person," the representative added.

In addition, the operating unit has also recorded that some passengers still do not have the habit of maintaining public hygiene. Bringing food and drinks onto the train, dropping them, and leaving garbage on the train has occurred. Some passengers also bring pets in their backpacks and then release them when entering the platform, affecting people around them. Not only is there a hygiene issue, many passengers also block the entrances and exits, prolonging the time it takes for the train doors to open and close, causing many trains to be delayed.

According to a representative of the company operating Metro Line 1, when encountering violations of regulations, station staff often take measures to remind and gently explain to passengers so that they understand and comply with the regulations. Because the operation is new, many passengers are not familiar with the regulations, so station staff focus on guiding and explaining clearly to build a culture of safe and civilized train travel.

"Currently, all 14 stations have posted regulations and rules for metro passengers. In case of violations, station staff will be responsible for reminding, but with limited resources, we cannot control each passenger. In case of intentional violations, we have the right to refuse transportation, but we do not have the right to impose fines or penalties because HURC1 is only an operating management unit, without the function and power to limit sanctions.

Specific behaviors that violate good customs and traditions when using the metro depend on each person's awareness. We encourage everyone to record beautiful moments with metro line 1, but they need to comply with regulations and build a civilized and modern metro culture together," said a representative of HURC 1.
