"Effective communication is crucial for the safety and efficiency of train operations. I always ensure that I use clear and concise language when communicating with crew members, whether through radios or hand signals. For passengers, I use the public address system to provide timely and accurate information. In my previous role, I handled a situation where there was a delay due to technical issues. I kept both the crew and passengers informed about the status and expected resolution time, which helped to maintain calm and order. Additionally, my training in conflict resolution has equipped me to handle any disputes or concerns from passengers professionally."
