Must a husband sit next to each other when traveling on public transportation?

[King Belieal]

I wanted to travel to another city within my state. Booked for a public bus and picked a space to sit down next to a man. But the man said I can't sit there because he came with his wife. There were other seats in the bus but everyone prevailed on me to leave the seat for the woman to sit close to her husband.

Must couples always sit together, even in public transport?

That is the normal thing to do. Whenever we travelled we always sat together. In this case that man was right

You were having your bad shot that time. Well, of course the husband and wife sit together and that's normal for security and comfort of the wifey.

It feels so sweet to sit next to your spouse when traveling using the public transportation services.

It's nice for the couple to seat next to each other. However, since that is public transportation, you cannot control the allocation of seats. I don't see any problem even if the couple cannot seat next to each other.

I don't think it's an absolute requirement for couples to sit together on public transport. While many prefer the closeness, there's nothing wrong with sitting separately if needed due to crowding or wanting personal space.
