When a dad gets on the bus with 3 little girls - all clearly under 6 years old - GIVE UP A SEAT for the girls at least…
What is wrong with everybody on the bus … I can’t believe that nobody else ever gives up their seat for these little girls. Are people so self-centered that they can’t give up their precious seat on the bloody bus??
Show some courtesy!!! Children under 6 should not be standing on the bus!!!

It’s worse than that. About 2 years ago, in the winter, I went back to school to prep for a Master’s. I was way in the back of the bus, behind the back door. The bus was jammed-packed, standing room only with only university students (Guelph).
An East Indian man (though that’s probably irrelevant) got on with a daughter in his arms. I’m guessing she was 2 or 3. Not one bloody student got up from their seat to let him sit. The girl was wearing a slippery snowsuit, and he had trouble holding on to her.
The female students, who’d taken up all the front seats, including those for seniors, just stared at the man and his daughter. I felt ashamed for these young people who have no manners, and more ashamed that I couldn’t give up my seat as it would have been taken by someone else before the man could come down. That’s if he could even make it with a child in his arms, since the driver was going at breakneck speed, as if possessed by Keanu Reeves.
It sickens me that this is what has become of the world.
If a child is able bodied, there is no reason why they can’t stand.
