I was just on a city bus on the way to the gym and I saw this new sign and I got all excited. I thought maybe it would give a clue to some people that other people need those seats in the front more than them.
In big bold letters it says “Please give up your seat”
I'll type out what it says because I can't take a picture on a bus to save my life
Give up your seat forThank You
Pregnant ladies
Folks who may be traveling with babies
People who may need to fold their stroller or carts
Seniors, even if they don't look the part
WTF MTA not everybody who's disabled looks disabled. I'm 5 Foot 10 and weigh 210 lb. I stand up straight and don't use a cane. But I have severe foot drop and it's none of your business but I have problems with proprioception, which means I have poor balance. I also have nerve damage in both my hands which means if I have to hold on to the pole I have to do it with my elbow. Do I get that seat? That sign is going to make it even harder for me to get the seat.
Not for nothing but how about just put a sign on the seat that tells people not to sit in it unless they have a medical condition requiring them to sit. just save those seats in the front for those that need it. that way maybe I won't have to ask those middle school kids to get up while they're playing all their video games totally oblivious to the fact that I'm about to fall on them
