Would you give up your seat to a woman with a Baby on Board badge?

Of course if these badges actually happen it's only a matter of time before fake ones are being sold on ebay

I don't think you actually need to prove you're up the duff to get one of the badges though!

It's not like a Blue Badge or anything, just a pin badge, to save the is she/isn't she pregnant faux-pas situation.

If we get to a point where you need an official permit to get a priority seat, then it'd be a bit of a sad reflection on society!

I would have though that they would have given them out to pregnant women at their GPs or at pre-natal classes.

Just letting anyone have them seems as irrational as giving out disabled car badges to everyone on the basis that they might do their back in sometime.

I think that people with invisible diabilities should be able to get badges from their doctor so that they can ask for a seat on the bus.

*OK I haven't thought this through compltely but it seems like a better idea than just letting everyone fight it out for seats and the strongest and fittest getting them*.

There's also days when anyone can really need a seat if they are hurt or ill.

On a double-decker bus, the easiest solution is to sit upstairs if you are able bodied and leave the seats downstairs for those unable to climb the stairs. Even if other able bodied people take them, at least you've done your bit and won't be put into a situation where you have to consider giving up your seat!

Ah but if you're super considerate and chivalrous you'd take a priority seat, just so you could have the pleasure of giving it up to someone who needed it more that you later on.
