| I hate traveling on the MTR when pregnant or when with my children. Fortunetly living in DB I don't have call to use it very often.
During both pregnancies I was very rarely if ever offered a seat and have travelled from Sunny Bay Station to Kowloon Tong station when pregnant umpteen times and never been offered a seat. But the same goes for traveling on buses too.
As far as I am concerned no one on the MTR has any spatial awareness and it is not uncommon for people to walk right into the push chairs or right into me while carrying my toddler or baby.
Plus very few MTR stations have a wide open gate which push chairs can fit through. In most stations you have to call someone to open it for you, or lift the pushchairs over the normal turnstiles.
Also I hate the fact that I hate to wait and wait for a lift to go from concourse to station because the lift is always jam packed with people who could quite easily have taken the escalator!
The MTR is a cheap, fast way to travel and is great- just not with small children and babies, IMO.  |
