text: As a guy who uses a wheelchair, I bring my own seat.  BUT, if you are sitting in the front rows of the bus, and the bus company receives federal $$ (which most do) then it is requested (note: not required) that you get up and allow a person with a disability to sit there.\n\nAnd, most people with disabilities live in an inaccessible world.  They are unable to access many portions of the community.  Allowing someone to have a seat when they need one is a great step in the right direction.
