We can often see that almost all the buses are old people. Many elderly people have to choose to take the bus because there is only one or two stops between their departure and destination. Although the distance is not far, in hot weather, the elderly are prone to heatstroke when walking. Although it is near, I will be tired after walking a few steps when I am old. Some old people think that taking the bus is free anyway, so many old people have to take the bus even if they are near.
First, when the weather is hot, the elderly are prone to heatstroke when walking. The physical condition of old people is different from that of young people. Their body's ability to regulate temperature is weaker, and they can't feel it at all when the weather is a little hot, which is prone to accidents. When the weather is very hot, old people are prone to heatstroke when walking. In order to avoid accidents, the distance is very close, and they would rather take the bus than walk.
Second, most elderly people have inconvenient legs and feet, even if they are not far away. Old people's legs and feet will be a little inconvenient. If we let them walk at this time, it will simply increase their physical burden. In addition, sometimes one or two stops look very close, but they are also quite far away, and many young people are reluctant to go. Buses can shuttle through all the streets of the city, which provides convenience for these elderly people, especially those with inconvenient legs and feet. They don't have to worry about traveling.
Third, most cities now have senior citizen cards, and many people feel that they are not sitting in vain. At present, the state has various subsidies for the elderly, and most cities will have old-age cards. It is basically free for the elderly to take the bus. So some old people have this idea of not sitting for nothing. However, I also hope that the elderly will try to stagger the rush hour when taking the bus, so as to save some time for young people.
