Why this phrase
Did you catch that? Local-train manners announcements and the dirty look from the person behind you are both about 「網棚」, the overhead net shelf. Bags go up or at your feet, never in the aisle, never on a seat. Survival: hear it, do the move. Trip-kit CTA because this is train logistics.
