A bespectacled young fella refuses to let an old man sit in the empty seat next to him, and calls the police on grounds of hostility from the old man. He also accuses the old man of lacking culture and tells him, “If you had any manners, then I would let you sit.” In the end, the young man is led off the bus to speak to the police and the other passengers cheer.

A man and a woman start screaming at each other when the woman’s daughter takes what he thinks should be his seat. Blows are thrown. The fight ends when the train reaches its next stop and the man gets off.
