@BarbChamberlain It looks like if the bus gets crowded enough, nobody's going to stop a living tired Black worker from sitting down, but the fact that the operator doesn't seem to have envisioned this possibility speaks volumes about the current state of race and transportation in the United States today.

@capntransit Point taken, although seems to me the possibility that someone would in fact interfere with a living tired Black worker on a bus exists in many parts of the US.
