    Very sad,Yes U r right Ms.Rita, Not no one, sitting woman don't give s seat to old and pregnant women. They just glance out through the window to avoid offering seat. In such cases Male passengers are more liberal. It is my experience

    It is very sad to see that the seats reserved for senior citizens in the buses in Mangalore are occupied by others. During my stay in Mangalore I have noticed that even the conductor does not bother when others occupy senior citizen seats. On one occassion I requested a person to vacate the senior citizen seat but that person told me ' aar unthad ye, aareg daani unthareg' This is our attitude towards senior citizens. No wonder they are forced to stand in crowded buses and risk their lives.
