Actually you might be surprised to find that it is (or was) a rule.

It is (or was) in the bus company regulations somewhere.

There always used to be a printed sign at the front of the buses saying something along the lines of "concessionary fares must give up their seat to full fare paying passengers" or words that mean that.

And if you kicked up a fuss the driver was supposed to back you up.

But these days they prefer to lock themselves in their bulletproof cabin away from the world
