That's right: special seats on the train reserved for pregnant women and the elderly. When I board, whoever is sitting there has to get up--it's the law. Bless this city.
When I was about 7/8 months pregnant I was riding on the metro a lot for 2 weeks to attend one of my classes. I was amazed how many people would notice me but wouldn't even offer me their seats. I was often dying to sit down. I still remember one time it was really crowded and there were men on the seats and finally a girl offered me hers. Where are the gentlemen in the world today? However in their defense, there were some on other trips that took care of me :-)
