Why don't TTC riders give pregnant women their seats? today.
It has resulted in a heated and lively discussion in the comments.
Some say they do automatically offer their seat to pregnant women. Some say they have offered their seat but have gotten rebuffed so don't anymore.
Others say they paid for their seat so why should they give it up to anyone for any reason?
And others say, though they don't look like they need the seat might because they just worked a 12 hour shift or have something wrong that isn't obvious so why should they give up their seat just because a woman is pregnant?
The pregnancy part is irrelevant to me. If someone, whether they are pregnant, elderly or disabled, looks like they need a seat, I don't hesitate to offer it. But if they don't look like they need one, I don't.
What about you?
