I haven't used public transport since I got ill enough to need to ask. I'm pretty much at the point where if I can't drive and park there, I don't go. Especially with a toddler tagging along for the journey now. But the thought is always at the back of my mind - you never know when you may NEED to use public transport. Not that there's a great deal of it available in our area!

That said, I'm probably too shy to ask, and would really want to avoid having to explain my illness to others in order to "prove" I need a seat more than someone else. The walking stick is starting to look like a good option - but not easy to use one when I have the pram most of the time!
