Nanning considers allowing bus drivers to remove passengers

Bus drivers in Nanning may be given the authority to boot off passengers who refuse to give up seats for the elderly or infirm.

The measure is in a draft regulation that aims to improve public transportation in the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

Although surrendering a bus seat is considered a traditional virtue, the number of people who now refuse and the arguments that ensue have become hot topics in the past few years.
