In my experiences with public transportation, women appear to be more willing to sit in any seat if it is available. Men, in contrast, will usually remain standing depending on the number of free seats.
I usually do not sit if 2/3 or more of the seats are taken in a given bus or subway car. I simply don't like sitting right next to strangers.*
* Strangers on subway cars don't usually sit right next to each other unless they have to. To use an analogy from chemistry, it can best be described as a social "Hund's Rule."
