PERTH commuters have again taken to social media to shame fellow passengers caught behaving badly.
The latest video to gain momentum on the web was reportedly filmed on February 15 this year on the Perth to Clarkson train line.
It was posted to YouTube on June 14 and has already had more than 23,300 hits in the four days since, pushed by posts on Facebook pages Public Transport Exposed and Perth WA Memes.
What has your public transport experience been like? Let us know in the comments below.
The short video is of a woman, sitting on a crowded train, with her bags and files on a seat next to her originally refuses to move them for a woman in her 60s and a pregnant woman.
A man then asks the woman to move her things, but she refuses and other passengers start to comment on how rude she's being.
The woman then calls the pregnant woman a "fat f***" before letting the expectant mum sit.
The video comes after another one recorded this year of a racist fight in East Perth and of transit guards breaking up a fight on a train, during which one male claimed to have a gun.
A Public Transport Authority spokeswoman said Transperth staff could not be the arbiter of public morals, but passengers should behave properly.
"We do not condone the behaviour of the passenger in this video," she said.
"While she has not committed any offence, common decency dictates that seated passengers should stand for someone who needs a seat more than they do. Clearly marked signage on all our buses and trains supports this."
The spokeswoman said each year Transperth invested a lot of time and effort in programs aimed at improving passenger behaviour.
"The most recent of these is the Two Hoots campaign, which specifically reminds commuters about the importance of standing for people who need a seat more than you.
"One of the 'nursery rhymes' which make up the Two Hoots campaign specifically refers to giving up your seat for a pregnant woman."
