I had my first bus rides yesterday. Right away I noticed there is a code of how to behave. Men and women cannot sit together on the same seat row. Whoever gets their first, the row becomes designated as for males or females. Also, the women have their own rules. If all the seats are full and a woman gets on the buss who is elder to you, then you give up your seat to her. If a woman gets on the bus with a baby, and you are not an elder or don't have a baby, you give up your seat for her.
This is one of the 5 buses I rode yesterday. There are city buses and local buses.
Aside from the who-gets-there-first men's row vs. women's row rule, shouldn't the 'giving up your seat for an elderly or a woman with a child' be considered universal common courtesy?
ReplyDeleteGiving up your seat for anyone older has been lost in this country. We were taught to do this when we were growing up, but now it seems that it's every man and/or woman for him/herself!
