Stores simply do not have the staff for this.
That being said, the biggest question with expectant mother and breastfeeding mother designated seats is whether or not this can or will be enforced. Agencies put up signs for this purpose in the hopes that humanity will uphold these rules. Regardless, bus services, train services and metro services are still a business and many experts find it difficult to believe that any individual, male or female, would be turned away for service over specially designated seating.
The main goal of these programs throughout big cities is to provide safer transportation for women, children and the elderly. Public transportation officials recognize that these passengers are the majority of their passengers. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unsafe areas and many women passengers do not feel safe enough to take public transportation. Many city officials are taking measures to make areas safer, by fixing sidewalks and roads, re-designing city blocks and houses, adding more light sources to unlit areas and providing safer public transportation. Some cities have not caught on and America is behind in comparison to other countries. The other downside is that smaller areas don't have very good public transportation services and need to first work on providing these types of services more readily.
Conclusion
Some cities in Mexico and other countries may be going a little too far and at some point in time, men may be questioning when and why women passengers became the city's priority and may be asking about their own safety. If city transportation planners continue to focus primarily on women, their safety, needs and wants, the city's men may begin to feel left out. In a way, this type of planning and preparation shows the strides women are making in many cultures, but on the other hand it makes one wonder why these areas are having to take such measures in order to keep women safe. It sort of shows the fact that women are still looked upon as lower than men and this show of importance may make some men (particularly criminally-minded men) angry.
Women-friendly public transportation is helpful for women who are trying to commute back and forth in the city they live and work in. The downside to this type of travel system is that it is not family oriented. Imagine a husband, wife and child visiting or traveling through an area where this type of women-friendly transportation system was available. The woman and children may be allowed, but what of the male part of the family? The family would have to split up and travel separately or choose a different method of travel, which may be more unsafe. In that sense, this type of travel system is somewhat unhelpful and unsuccessful to women and their families. Not all men use this type of transportation to victimize women and what of the women who victimize other women and will use the system to commit woman vs. woman crimes? These are all strong points to consider and are most likely points, which will be brought up by public transportation planners and city officials in the future.
In countries like America that do not offer a lot of women-friendly public transportation,...

This polarization of different groups is likely to carry over into the classroom: socio-economic disadvantages often translate into economic disadvantages. If one population is more represented in higher-level classes this can foster prejudice. High-performing minority students may feel uncomfortable if they make up an even slimmer majority in their honors and AP classes. The segregation in the business indicates how on an adult level there is even more community division. Students
Glass Ceiling -- Does it Still Exist? In 1964 the federal government of the United States passed a Civil Rights Act that forbade discrimination -- that is using double standards -- in the workplace. The idea was for all job applicants and all candidates for promotion within companies to be treated equally. The concept was excellent -- the implementation has left much to be desired. The question of whether or
