Sitting on the Aisle Seat First on a Bus Sparks Debate Over Etiquette

Did you know that a debate has sparked over whether it is wrong to sit in the aisle seat of a bus first when the window seat is empty?

A post recently appeared on an online community stating, "I don't understand why people get criticized simply for sitting on the aisle side."

The writer argued, "While it is a problem not to make way for a passenger trying to get to the inner seat, I don't see why it is wrong in itself for the person who boarded first to sit on the aisle side, which is more convenient for getting off."

Counterarguments emphasizing the need for consideration followed.

Some netizens pointed out that it is a matter of public transportation etiquette, saying, "If it is a two-person seat, it is polite to go in from the inside," and "If you sit on the aisle side first, it is inconvenient for other people to get inside."

Conversely, some opinions suggested that demanding even passengers who are about to get off soon to unconditionally sit by the window is going too far.

The debate continues as opinions clash between the stance that choosing an aisle seat is a personal choice and the view that sitting from the inside out is a courtesy for other passengers.
