Seats - Rules 3 and 4

There have been lots of incidences recently of people taking up the seats or not giving up their seat for a person who needs it more but tonight was the best yet. 

Just as I sat down on the DLR a gentleman got on and made a beeline for the seat next to me. I was sitting in my preferred spot - one of the fold down seats in the wheelchair area (and I admit I do break rule 4 if a wheelchair gets in which is not very often). I was getting myself settled and finding my book so wasn't paying him my attention when all of a sudden there was a clatter next to me. This gentleman had put a large wheeled bag in the space. He then leapt across the aisle to grab the empty seat there. And he was not going to move his bag to let anyone sit down!

Buses

I came across this article on Facebook earlier and thought it might be useful in helping to keep some of the rules.

Rule 21 - music

It was so lovely on the bus earlier listening to another girl's music. I was impressed with her kindness of sharing it with the rest of us especially as she apparently had a massive headache (I learnt this interesting fact from the phone conversation she had with her friend - along with the fact that she had been throwing up all over the train she'd just got off!).   I was very disappointed when she got off of the bus 😂

Feeling sleepy?

This poor girl obviously wanted to comply with Rule 3 but didn't have a bag. Looks like she also wanted to comply with Rule 14 but didn't have a shoulder to lean against. Hats off to her for combining the two!
