RTA does not provide mandatory seating for Seniors and People with Disabilties. Almost always there are individuals with packages or whom are overweight occupying the priority seats. The bus drivers cannot mandate that they give up their seats for a person with disabilities. I suffer and endure pain each time I have to sit elsewhere. It's really a shame ADA is not taken seriously.
