Why do people not give up their seats to the elderly?
-
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?

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.

younger people are damn self centred and rude to older people.

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. -
Later on, I will be observing the youngsters on the street...

It is called that way Internationally.Here are the people who should have excess to 'Priority seats' in Japan1) 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!

This is the most sensible reply.Yes,that PCK sticker is poor taste and a mockery of the whole idea. -

I travel from the east to west almost everyday (45min journey) and I give up my seat when I need to...You should be ashamed of yourself. If you're tired then the old uncles and aunties not tired ah? Somemore you are physically fitter than them. Imagine it's your parents/grandparents standing and no one offers them a seat.
You are just the kind of person I'm posting about

I realise most of the time, the people who give their seats to the elderly are..
*** drumroll**
answer: other elderly people!!!!!!! Such a difficult scene to see, imagine the scene have tourists what would they think..
I always keep a lookout for needy/elderly/preggie when i am seated
Whenever in Hongkong MTR, i see the young are always readily to give up their seats and then there will be exchange of thanks n welcomes

Elderly people tend to look out for each other cuz they know they cant rely much on the younger generation
