True but one should never assume to know who is "healthy". For example, I may appear young and healthy but I had surgery a few weeks ago. There was no outward evidence that I was recovering from surgery but I can assure you I damn well needed a subway seat. Same goes for a few of my "young and healthy" appearing coworkers. Gall bladder surgery, hernia surgery, torn ligaments, etc. I remember once I even had to kindly and quickly, excuse my way to an open subway seat because I was feeling dizzy. You never know why someone is pushing for a seat but sometimes that urgency is necessary.
I agree. You can't judge people by looks. I have an health issue and sometimes I get very dizzy, weak and in a lot of pain so a seat would be nice. If its available I will go sit but by the looks of me people may think why does she need a seat.
Also not all jobs involve sitting at a desk all day. Somebody may simply be tired and look forward to a seat on the subway as its the only time they get to sit all day.
My goal in subway riding is to get a seat immediately and failing that, to get one ASAP with as little standing as possible. I have a bad back and standing or sauntering is murder, but a fast walk is okay.
So an all-standing car has no appeal for me whatsoever.
They need to update the trains, like the select bus, with wider doors, larger space inside. Come on the trains are out dated and old.
Population increases every year, we need" NEW AND IMPROVED" trains. Before something really bad happens, and then what.

Something bad like what? Also, trains are on the way. They should begin delivery this summer.

If trains are on the way that's good news. Is also new news to me, riding the subway is not safe, and maybe new trains
will improve the ride. People might have better attitude.
