Laura Pedersen of the New York Times reports:
A packed crosstown 86th Street bus going west.
A man and a child who looks to be about 4 are sitting side by side.
A large older woman seated nearby belligerently says, “You didn’t have to pay for that child, so you must hold it on your lap.”
The man politely replies, “You paid only a senior half fare, so you can only use half a seat.”
Conversation over.

I have a question. Why can’t concerts be more affordable. For people on low income enjoy def leopard bon jovi snoop dogg lil Wayne Nikki manji ECT we want to see them live to it’s. Just not fair to the rest that can’t afford the tickets not to go have a section just for people on low income I thought concerts were for everyone to enjoy not just for the working class or the rich more people would fill those seats if they were more reasonable for all classes and walk of life
