I spotted many commuters give elderly for seats many times!

Not sure if this is the right place to post but it's about trains..

Anyway, it seems like people who are young and able simply refuse to give up their seats to the needy. WHY?

ive seen many young singaporeans give up seats to elderly

Yeah of course...but I can only give up one seat at most what...sometimes there are more than 1 person in the cabin who needs the seat and people just sit there without feeling shame

Actually the people I'm gripping about are the "young" singaporeans...in fact nowadays everyone seems to have a bo chup attitude

Mostly, people would give up their seats to old people either they're carrying heavy groceries or injured. The PCK stickers pasted on the windows were supposed to encourage young people to give up their seats to the elderly. Now, they are taken off, I'm not sure they would do the right thing.

Of course bo chup them what. We acutally pay the higher fare than those eldery people but we couldn't seat? What the hack is this? You think, imagine if we going from 1 end to 1 end, wil you going to stand?! NO WAY!! $1.50++ ask me stand...

Simply because people are too tired after working, they need to sit and rest in the train.

If you want to see how fast a country has developed just observe closely how the young people behave socially.They are in opposite directions.

Young foreigners move forwards, your young local move backwards.

In Japan, they have three kinds of seats.

PRIORITY SEATS - For those who take the seat first. Its for tired people to sleep.
LOVE GIVING SEATS - To be given up to the elderly / needy.
NORMAL SEATS

I dunno why Singapore uses the word priority... cos it can actually also mean... since I sit first, I get the priority not to give up the seat to others.

It is called that way Internationally.Here are the people who should have excess to 'Priority seats' in Japan

1) Mothers with a small child/ children

2)Pregnant people

3)Senior citizens

4) Injured people

However it didnt mentioned anything about the mentally handicapped or the physically impaired but as a human being one should know how & when to agak agak la!
