Third trimester pregnancy in public transport

Dear mummies, most of the time I experienced crowdedness in bus and mrt but no one gives seat and have to stand a few stops. Most people pretend never see me. Though I am in third trinester, I am afraid I could fall and hurt my baby. Just wondering if anyone experienced this and what would you all do? I feel bad for asking someone to give me seat but I also scared I fall.

The priority seats are for YOU, the elderly and injured. Seeing healthy people hogging the seats make me angry. Honestly when I wasn't pregnant I tend to purposely trample over their toes or bang them awake with my bag if there's someone in need nearby. I haven't really encountered a time when people don't give up their seat after making eye contact with a pregnant lady though.
