I ride the metro everyday and I makes me crazy. I had been used to riding the metro in New York, but the cars there are wider and there are less riders. I always seemed to get a seat on the NY subway, but in Sofia I always stand. I think it's the mass of people that ride transit here in Sofia that make it cut throat. At rush hour, if I don't plan to be quick about getting a seat, then I won't get one. And everyone else feels this same way. The only thing that I feel bad about is as a gentleman, I should always give my seat to an elder or a lady, but if I played by these rules, then I would never ever get a seat in any case. After working 10 hours a day on my feet, I'll take the blame for not being a gentleman.
