We've all seen it. The able-bodied college students slouching in their seats, scrolling through their iPods, oblivious to their surroundings. The able-bodied yuppie, sitting up straight, reading a book that's been turned into a movie, being distracted by a call from the spouse. What do these people have in common? They sit while others who need seats stand.
Sure, we mocked the T's cutesy courtesy campaign, but on one point we strongly agree: Be sweet, offer your seat. We have been on a surprising number of cars where a person with a cane or other walking aid came in and nobody got up to offer that person a seat. Come on, folks. We know it's a score to get a seat during rush hour, but that doesn't excuse you from having to offer yours to someone who needs it more. Stand up if you can so those who can't can sit down. Please.
