[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure why you mention being on vacation and are asking questions specifically about a shuttle bus. Is this somehow different from being on a regular city bus?

Age —unless it’s extreme — wouldn’t get you offered a seat. Someone noticeably elderly, someone with a cane, someone carrying an infant would usually get offered a seat .  Someone “older than you” — a category that obviously can vary quite a lot, depending upon how old “you” are doesn’t usually get this type of treatment, but you are always free to offer your seat to someone else as a kindness. This happens a lot on the Metro — especially when people plan to get off the train within a stop or two.

Similarly, I’m not sure about your “being in a group” question. If you’re in a 2 seat row, and someone appears to be looking for a seat, it’s customary to either move to the seat closer to the window, or to get up so that someone else can sit by the window, allowing you to return to the aisle seat. People often do the latter when they anticipate getting up in a few stops.
Being a part of some sort of group wouldn’t change any of this.  What might change is that people sitting near each other as part of a group with empty seats between them will usually move over to a seat next to a fellow group member to maintain proximity with them, opening up seats for people who are not members of the group.[/quote]
