So here's the question- what are the things you absolutely cannot stand about you're city's public transit system? Feel free to give an example.
Mine- so i get off work today after staying several extra hours for a pregnant girl that needed to go home. I get on the bus, sit down, but it quickly fills while we're at the station. I get up, give my seat to some teenage girls. By the time we leave the station, i am one of two guys standing, and there are prob four women standing. All of us have obviously been at work all day. You've got at least four guys in their teens sitting and bullshitting. When a set of seats finally open on one of the three seat portions, one of these kids says i should offer my seat to the girl standing at the front (i had already waited before sitting in case she wanted to sit and there is a large seat between me and him still) i say there's a seat right there and he starts talking to his friends across the aisle about how he should deck me (not his exact words). An old lady takes it at the next stop anyway. They all get off at a community center with their sports bags (which was taking up too much space anyway), i still end up standing back up for a family that comes on at the next street.
Am i the only one tht was taught to offer your damn seat if the person is older than you, has obviously been standing all day or is a woman? I can't help but think someone would have told them this by now.
Bonus- people that put their bags on the seat when the bus is full instead of storing them under the seat.
