Worried over getting snapped on camera by stompers for not giving up the seat with that exquisite, clear cut label that states "priority seat"? I would say some of these are redundant cases which may be misunderstood by the originator or simply, they just want to help increase awareness of the situation by creating news.
Recently, the graciousness campaign has been launched to educate and promote nice things that commuters can do to make everyone's journey enjoyable. On top of which, some suggested that fines and penalties should be imposed.
Driving people to graciousness? I think fines and penalties will make graciousness not so gracious. If there were to be enforcement officers telling off inconsiderate commuters to give up their seat for the needy, they would have 101 ungenuine reasons (oh i'm sick or injured, i'm really really exhausted.. when in fact, i'm not and i can't really be bothered) for them to occupy the seat.
Furthermore, a scene would be created if they do not cooperate and it doesn't make everyone happy. It won't be a win-win situation for all. And if the situation were to escalate, it would be ugly for all parties. Stompers (or curious commuters) would have a great time snapping away and uglier news would surface out of it.
Give the campaign some time, educating the mass takes time and patience. Great job for those who are fulfilling their part towards the succession of the campaign.
