I think what I mean is there was a time (ok, I'm stepping on dangerous ground now) when I didn't mind offering my seat to an older lady or man, but now I feel like I'll offend them. However, most of the time now, they're the ones pushing ME out of the way to get the seat on the Metro (younger people too). You can hardly get out of the car for people eyeing the one vacant seat and pushing everyone (including the older people) out of the way...<BR/><BR/>On another note, I agree with you about Eric's link to the Paris Public Bus History...it's really excellent.Michael Salonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294866381143537391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1146295222417571412006-04-29T09:20:00.000+02:002006-04-29T09:20:00.000+02:00what a way to add more charm to paris!what a way to add more charm to paris!paradisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919511991966226065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1146294404309039862006-04-29T09:06:00.000+02:002006-04-29T09:06:00.000+02:00Today when you get on the bus or the metro it's an...<I>Today when you get on the bus or the metro it's an "every man for himself" mentality. </I><BR/><BR/>Michael, it's been that way as long as I can remember (and apparently I can remember all the way back to the 60's!) however, once in a while somebody will surprise you and help out another person or give up their seat when you least expect it.
