okay goq i’ll post something just cuz :).
I’m female and not over 60 (not to say thats a cut off age or anything!) and not pregnant, and i do take the subway all the time. i am always super happy to be offered a seat, though i won’t ask, because 1- i am a bad traveler and get less nauseas sitting, 2- i have terrible balance and am one of those who goes flying on short stops (though i have not yet landed in anyone’s lap!), and 3- i have knee issues so its nice to be able to sit instead of locking my knees and hurting them more. -end rant
