[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, your first few examples show people standing up for others and asking them to move! That’s great! [/quote]

I think OP's point is that people who visibly need seats shouldn't have to ask -- people should know to give up their seats for pregnant riders and people who clearly have mobility issues. It is nice that other riders are looking out for them, but people who are seated have a responsibility to be mindful of people who NEED seats. [/quote]

That's a good idea in theory, but people are going to read or play with their phones or whatever during a 20 minute ride vs actively looking at every stop just in case if they are in a regular seat. If an able bodied person is in a handicapped seat they 100% should be scanning, though. Also in a crowded train, people in the seats cannot see the stomachs or feet of people who just got on unless they make their way over. [/quote]

I think we are all talking about able-bodied person sitting in the handicapped seat and not looking up to see if they need to give it up.  They should absolutely do that.  [/quote]
