Idiot! What about those who use the bus to go one stop because they
have no hope of walking that distance? And it IS their seat, there are
designated priority seats for those who would have difficulty standing
for the duration of their journey. Or do you just approve of the fact
that the world is full of mean selfish *******s (like you perhaps?),
hard-working or not, who pretend to be unaware of the world around them
and will only give up a seat if harassed into it, or not even then.
