A lot of people here have a strange way of walking. In London ,
the US and Europe when people walk into the trains they take
strides and lift their feet off the ground. Asians tend to walk in
a “shuffling mode” taking very small shuffling steps- a bit of a
lazy way of walking! They take their time shuffling into the
MRT and try to remain near the door instead of
striding in and getting right inside!
So when they shuffle in small steps , they have a greater chanc eof
getting their feet caught in between the gaps because they don’t
lift their feet off the ground when walking!
Yeah that might be true.
Frankly, I get irritated when perfectly-fit people shuffle their
feet on the ground. That's a sign of laziness. Unless you have a
leg injury or something, you should follow what your good ol' BMT
sergeant said: DIG YOUR BOOTS.
And once you have a 'dig your boots' mentality, you would want
to lift your feet off the ground. Eventually it just becomes second
nature.
