Genuinely hate how (predominantly men) deliberately ignore “Please Offer Me a Seat” badges on buses & the Tube, instantly pretending to fall asleep, they can’t hear you etc., getting a seat 1/10 times asking if I’m v lucky. Not a problem of advertising, just people being pricks.

“Have you tried asking?” Yes. “Have you tried the card?” Yes. “Have you tried the pregnancy badge instead?” Yes, marginally more success, equal no of “you don’t look pregnant” accusatory comments

Also twice had the “well if you were disabled you would have a Freedom Pass, how do I know that badge is yours?” Loads of disabilities don’t qualify for the FP, but guess what fucko.pic.twitter.com/1yZ96O76Cf

Anyway, you can apply for the card here (some friends have had better luck, clearly “look” disabled in their limited minds) https://tfl.gov.uk/transport-accessibility/please-offer-me-a-seat …

Freedom passes less clearcut and will differ borough to borough (my neurologist just offered unbidden to write up and post me a letter during an appointment), but GPs should be able to vouch for you. Free London tube/buses! Free buses nationally! https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/freedom-pass/disabled-persons-freedom-pass …pic.twitter.com/R8GEV1LPfG

Failing that £20 on the disabled railcard long after you’re 30, and you can load it on your Oyster to save money https://www.disabledpersons-railcard.co.uk/are-you-eligible/ …pic.twitter.com/zm24xN77oH

This was my experience of having a baby on board badge.. even with a highly visible symbol of why you can't stand people (men) didn't get up. People who did were often those less able to stand themselves (e.g. older women!).
