Y’all had a lot to say about the free Muni for kids proposal. Could it “wean Americans off of our car fetish” as one commenter said, help poor family, or is it “asking for trouble,” to quote another commenter?
How to Give Up Your Seat on Muni Gracefully

This morning between around 9:00 a.m., this bigot (embracing the word f**got) wouldn’t move
his precious cargo for a disabled senior and his partner. The driver didn’t even tell this moron
to move his bags while he continued to belittle a disabled senior citizen.
Ok so this is not the graceful way to give up your seat on Muni. We’ve got some suggestions from our inbox on this matter.
For instance, recognize handicapped passengers, even those on crutches. And don’t take up three seats with your newspaper and manliness. Just a simple “Would you like to sit down” is nice, right? I’d say that elderly, handicapped, and pregnant women obviously qualify for the seats, but it’s still up for debate whether you should give up a seat for kids (and what size).
What’s your tip on giving up your seat?
