evening commute observation

Most people will not give up their seat on the bus to someone holding a heavy toddler. I will.

They really are. A week or three ago during my commute a guy with a cast on his foot and crutches got onto a crowded bus, and no one gave him a seat. (There wasn't much I could do about it; I was standing too. Though perhaps I should have made some pointed comment that would have embarrassed someone into giving him a seat. Or perhaps he should have just fallen on someone and hit them with the crutches in the process... "So sorry. Hard to stand on a moving bus on one foot with crutches, don't you know...")
