In the major cities of Canada such as Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, the rush hours can get chaotic. Like South Korea, all commutersare expected to wait until everyone has exited first before getting ontopublic transport. This applies to buses or trains. It is considered very rude to push your way onto a train or bus before people have had the chance to exit. Canadians will stand to the right or left of the doors and wait for people to get off before getting onto a bus or train. After waiting for people to get off, the standard practice is to say “I am sorry” a few times as you make your way into a crowded bus or train.
