In Singapore, if you are caught sitting on the reserved seat and not giving it up when required, your picture will be posted online for others to flame you.

Seems like this practice is not common in Japan, which is a country known for its gracious people.

If they're nice, yes. Show me respect, I'll show you respect. Plain and simple.

I always stand up for the visibly older and weak senior citizens. Also people with young children or pregnant ladies.

I don't stand up to middle aged ppl just because they're technically older.

Honestly no, I don't anyways.

This.

I wouldn't voluntarily give up my seat tho.

No, **** them.

I mean, I do most of the time but those assholes seem to expect everyone to just jump up and cater to them now. Once I was on the tram with a sprained ankle (no cast, just bandaged and you could clearly see it going above my shoe if you looked) and this old bitch gets on and immediately turns to me without even bothering to check the rest of the area to see if there were any available seats, and was like "Excuse me..."

i gave no ****s and just stared out the window (didn't even bother to get my phone out to pretend) and eventually she huffed "Rude man" and walked off. And quickly found a seat in the back where no one was sitting. Entitled bitch.

No! If you want to that is fine but I hate how some old people think they are entitled to the seat on the bus. If they ask nice, of course I would. But when they are standing there and then are rude, nope!

Absoultely, I was taught at a young age that it's the right thing to do Also I have no problem standing on public transport anyway so why not offer a seat to someone who needs it?

Yes.

I usually stand on public transport so it's never been a problem.

But sometimes, when I take the bus to uni, I sit, given that it's a 50-minute ride, and I usually don't give up my seat there. Especially since I always get the window seat, so the person next to me will have to get up too. And the aisle is narrow, so you have to push and shove. So, all in all, giving up my seat would actually cause more harm than good

Yes

If I were to see someone incapable of standing comfortably, I would offer them my seat. I do hate when people just expect it though.

I was once on public transport with two of my teachers and a few other students and the teachers instructed us to sit down even though they didn't have a seat themselves. A random lady started screaming at us for it! These are the kinds of attitudes which would deter me from doing it.

I wouldn't give up my seat for a middle aged person but I would give it up for an elderly person or someone that looks like they're having trouble walking due to injury or carrying baby. I don't think its a respect thing, I think it's just about being a genuinely nice person. If I don't need the seat I'm sitting in while someone near me clearly does, i would feel bad not asking them.

Absolutely.

I don't know if anything infuriates me more than a kid taking up two seats (by placing their bag on the next seat or something) on a crowded bus.

I think it's in the UK to give up priority seats

I usually go to the back of the bus or the upper deck for this exact reason

Although if the bus is packed and i'm forced to sit in the priority seats i find myself panicking wondering if the person standing up is old enough to be offered a seat

i don't give a **** if they're older, i'm a person and i have the right to feel tired after a long day. they should get a cab they all have more money than i do.

I always do it and I think all young people should, but its okay if you are really tired or have other reasons to stay in your seat

I will if these are specifically reserved seats, I won't probably even sit there to avoid possible conflicts. If it's a random seat, it will depend because I may have health issues too. If there are other seats and they want to sit here "just because they want" I won't be ashamed to tell them to **** off.
