How should you behave when entering the tram stop?

Correct answer
B. Brake smoothly and decisively.
Explanation
The question is about braking when entering a tram stop. You should brake smoothly and decisively - answer B.
Smooth braking does not jerk the tram, so standing passengers, including elderly people and people getting ready to get off, do not lose their balance. Decisive braking allows you to stop the tram exactly at the marked place at the stop. Fast and violent braking (answer A) may cause passengers to fall over. Using all three types of brakes at the same time (answer C) is emergency braking, which is right only in sudden danger. When entering a stop, also watch the passengers standing near the edge and start braking early enough so that you do not have to slow down sharply at the last moment.
