Young people don't seem to know that priority seats should be reserved those who need them, says STOMPer Jason, who spotted a young man sleeping while seated on a priority seat in the MRT.
The man was not the only young person that was pretending to be asleep and depriving elderly people on the train of seats, says the sender.
It is upsetting to witness this in the train, he adds.
In an email, Jason says:
"Youngsters should go check the dictionary to see what the word 'priority' means.
"I was taking the MRT last night when I saw some young people sitting on priority seats even though there were three or four elderly people who needed the seats more.
"Something needs to be done about this attitude.
"It is an ugly sight to see."

why should you be lamenting about how selfish others are to hog the priority seats, while those who aren't sited on the priority aren't entitled to your criticisms?
and of cos, there are circumstances that commuters that are already extremely exhausted take their power nap on public transportation- let them be. give up your seat if you honestly think that someone else needs it more than you do. social graciousness comes from everyone, not just those on the priority seats.
@Bloody *****Mosquito, fully agreed.
