[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I took Metro a good bit when pregnant. By far the first people to jump up and offer me a seat were young African American teens. (I am not AA). They wouldn't ask, they would just very politely hop up and usher me right into their seats. I loved each and every one of them and blessed the parents and grandparents who taught them beautiful manners. One time a lady almost pushed her husband out of his seat so I could sit. But if it wasn't school dismissal time or tourist season with a lot of southerners, then I either stood or had to ask. [/quote] I think tourists are nervous and don't really know the rules, and frequently subways (I'm in NYC) are intimidating. I've only ridden the Metro once, while I ride the subway all the time, all over, I found myself a little intimidated on the DMV Metro because I really didn't have a good idea of where I was. Same in Paris on the Metro. [/quote]
