priority seating
Designated accessible places
Priority seating is designated seating on public transit or in public spaces reserved for people who need it most—typically the elderly, pregnant women, people with disabilities, or those with small children.
Signs mark these seats near the front of buses and trains.
Passengers occupying priority seating are expected to yield to those with greater need: She offered her priority seat to the woman with a cane.
