There is a yellow line behind which commuters must walk. This is rarely adhered to, even when crowds are thin. Walk behind the line, which is there for a reason.
Pushing and shoving as commuters get out is dangerous. Let commuters alight first—that is the cardinal rule— and then board the train. There are enough warnings about boarding and alighting from moving trains. You may not be as nimble as you think and can easily slip onto the tracks.

Maintain cleanliness on platforms. For authorities, if work is done on the platform for any reason, clear the debris away quickly or put it to one side to be cleared later so that it does not obstruct passengers.

Platforms are not places for selfies, horsing around or racing through. There are people that can easily get knocked over. Platforms are part of the entire railway commuting ecosystem. Safety begins from here. Let us make our platforms spaces something we can be proud of.
