I have found it to be quite common in Pakistan that people give up their seats for elders who are standing while traveling in buses, trains or even if there is no place to sit in any waiting room ( in banks , hospitals etc. ) I have seen that it is quite rare in the west.
Your views ?

Re: Do you leave your seat, for elders ?
I do not ride in public transport. However, if I am visiting an office and they run out of chairs (has never happened though), I would give my seat to a pregnant woman or a very very very elderly person who can't stand up.

This etiquette is quite common in the west as well....
I give up my seat to the elderly, pregnant women or a woman carrying a child in her arms.

Re: Do you leave your seat, for elders ?
Yea it's not common for something like that to occur to people who are younger in the West. There is still a sense of respect, but just in other ways. For example, it is rude to even say the first name of an elder, such as a teacher.
But another thing that Westerners might find odd is how some people in the East think it's rude if you're sitting with your feet out facing someone who is sitting across from you.
Strange world. :\
Re: Do you leave your seat, for elders ?
One of my friends gave up his seat for a lady 50-55 year old. She looked at him and glared as if to ask " Do you think I am that old" She didnot sit and remained standing.
My friend decided not to give seat to ladies again:D
Some older men and women donot accept the seat because they do not want you to stand. We are insisting to them and they are insisting to us. :)
I found a good way for such people. Whenever I see an old person entering the bus and there is no other place for the person to sit, I immediatly get up and stand besides the entrence so that person thinks that my stop might have reached, so he/she occupies the seat. This technique has proved quite successful
