It may be the start of a new year but it seems the same old problem from before -- inconsiderate commuters -- hasn’t gone away judging by these incidents as reported by two STOMPers.
STOMPer Edelweiss came across an woman who occupied two seats – one for herself and another for her shopping bags:
“An inconsiderate female passenger was taking up an extra seat by putting her stuff next to her.
“It was around 6pm on the Circle Line train going towards Harborfront.”
Meanwhile, STOMPer alex was appalled to come across a group of commuters, one of them on a reserved seat, sleeping when there were others who needed the seat more standing around them:
“An old women and a young couple with kids stood right in front of them, yet this three women slept in their seats. One of them was even on the reserved seat.”

1. You and I paid $$$ to board the transport.
2. All people are equal.
3. I'm entitled to sit as much as you are, subjected to availability of seats.
4. Seats are of a "first-come-first-sit" basis.
5. Do not expect and behave as if people owe you the seats just because of your plight (if any)
6. Giving up seats is a privilege and purely voluntary. You can only wait for seats to be vacant but you cannot expect.
7. If people do not give up seats, just forget it.
8. If you're really desperate to sit, take a taxi. You can sit all you want.
9. If taxis are expensive, then stop whining and remain standing and wait for an available seat.
10. Don't preach about kindness and karma when in office politics, everyone backstabs to fight for promotions. Will you give up your promotions?
Think them inconsiderate, YOU be considerate and go ask them to move then!
What has the new year got to do with this?
