Sir, – Unfortunately, the experience of older passengers left standing on public transport, as outlined by Dick Byrne (Letters, October 5th), is all too common. Last week while travelling on a full bus out to Fairview, I saw two young schoolboys in their uniforms who remained seated despite frailer passengers standing beside them.
Sadly, the idea of showing courtesy has been lost along with many other social graces. – Yours, etc,
