'The moment he entered the train, he went towards a young lady and started to shout at her to get out of her seat and let him have it.'

SINGAPORE: An online user took to a forum asking if elderly passengers are automatically entitled to public transportation seats.

The writer added, “She was not seated on the priority seat. The poor lady who was taking a nap got a shock and quickly moved out of her seat. I thought that it was pretty rude for the uncle to demand a seat like this. Something that happened to the young lady in OP’s story also happened to me. I just told him off to ask nicely next time if he needs a seat.”
