The Bus Ride

I've been loving the fact that my new job is only a ten minute ride on the bus, and only one bus at that no transfers or crap. Just a straight shot down Belmont St.. So this morning I was riding merrily along in the back listening to some String Cheese Incident on my Ipod when an older lady with a walker gets on. Now the bus is pretty full at this point and all the front seats that have signs above them stating that you must give up your seat for the elderly or handicapped. So she's stand at the front kind of looking around wondering were to go since no one is getting up to give her a seat. Finally someone gets up, and who might you ask was this kind soul... Some frail 80 year old man who's hunched over gets up and gives her his seat, he ends up having to stand for the rest of his ride. But don't worry it was only fifteen blocks. Now if I had been anywhere close to the front I would have happily given up my seat, but I was up on the second level about 7 rows back. I don't think I need to go into a rant about my feelings on this, hopefully you all feel the same.
