(SP) (photo taken while riding The Bus) this is a semipermanent paper sign taken while riding one of Honolulu’s Buses (transportation domain). It uses a heading of “Mālama kūpuna” and then the English translation of the phrase directly below it, which indicates that this sign’s audience is both Locals and tourists alike. Hawaiian may have been used to appeal to Locals’ value of taking care of those older than them, and to reflect a strong sense of “Hawaiian values”.

The domain is in a safety/warning, used to tell people to let seniors take the front seats. The sign is meant for both tourists and speakers of hawaiian, given that the translation is right below it
