Etiquette!

This bothered me the most when I was pregnant-- 9 months pg and tired of standing, I must continue to stand because lazy, mannerless parent doesn't think their spoiled brat should stand.
I always make my kid stand if there are no seats. If I know my kid is tired or something that prohibits them from standing, then they sit on my lap. If the adult does not sit, I still have my child stand-just in case the person changes their mind.

I don't know how the bus system works in your city, but in our buses, the first few seats behind the driver are flagged as courtesy seats, and if an elderly person or a disabled person on a wheelchair (we had those hydraulic lifts on the door) boards the bus, we're encouraged to find other seats and give them up.

I can't stand it when young punks don't give up their seats when the courtesy seats are full. It pisses me off to see the elderly searching for an empty seat when the bus is full.

Show some respect, geez!
