Do you get seats on public transport?

Hi fellow mums, I’m in 18 weeks+, there’s slight baby bump but still not obvious.. while on public transport, I’m ok to stand for short distance travel. However, when need to take long distances, change bus and MRT, it’s start to get alittle tired. And my back is starting to hurt recently, headache at times too.. we can’t always take grab/taxi also, it’s too expensive.. what’s your experiences? Do you really go up to the person and ask them to offer seat to u?

i'm experiencing the same here, i'm at 19 weeks now. i think my bump is big enough to tell that i'm pregnant but still not given a seat. seems that most of the commuters in the mrt are either always onto their phones or sleeping. i was introduced by a friend recently about the "May I have a seat" initiative. it comes in a sticker form or a card. you can obtain it at any MRT Passenger Service counter and its free of charge. i told the staff of my situation that i'm pregnant and its hard for me to get a seat. i was given this card and a lanyard. you just have to wear this over whenever you're taking the train / bus. hopefully this helps you and other mummies out there.
