I used to offer my seat to people all the time but most of the time they will just tell me to sit back down and a few times people even got kind of insulted so I stopped offering unless it it clear that they need to sit down.
If they ask me, I do. It's not a big deal and they need it more than I.
This reminded me of something: One day when I was in primary school, I was returning home with my grandparents by bus, and an old lady asked for my seat, so I said ok. And then the whole bus started to literally argue about whether I should give her my seat or not. I was so scared.
I don't. No matter if you're pregnant or a senior citizen or what. When I feel guilty, I just pretend that I'm sleeping so that I can't see them and make me feel less guilty.
I usually sit on the back of the bus, because I don't want to give up my seat
But last time on the bus, it was moderately filled, but still visible seats. This senior walks all the way to the damn back and asks for MY damn seat. I didn't want to look like a bitch so I gave her my seat.
Gorl... I always do that as well. Elders and pregnant woman hate the back seat. That option Is far better than standing in a bus for a 25km trip...
I definitely do if they're seniors, mothers with children, pregnant women, and an individual with visible disabilities.
Btw, the photo in the original post is the subway I take to school! w00t Toronto subway system!
Feather is promoting our new subways and its the one I take to school too lol
To answer the question I usually give up my seat for people with disabilities, elderly and pregnant women, BUT if I'm tired/sleepy on the way back from school at rush hour with the subway is packed like sardines then I pretend to be sleeping
