Few days back, I board the train around 5 to 6pm and its seriously crowded (I was standing). When the train arrived at one of the stops, people rush in as usual and it was even crowded. Out of all the people, there is one pregnant woman (I think 7 or 8 mths pregnant or even with twin). No one stood up to offer seats to her and they even SLEEP!!! (I dunno whether they are pretending or what!) but seriously it piss me off. After 4 to 5 stops, the pregnant woman is still STANDING! The people that are SLEEPING wasn't mother with kids, elderly, handicapped or pregnant women. The worse part is the priority seat that is meant for this purpose was also taken up by a office lady who is SLEEPING!!So just please be kind/considerate, offers these seats to someone who needed more than you. Stand for a while helping some others won't "die". Anyway this priority seat sign as well as label was launch on 26 July 2008. Website for more details on priority seats =]
