I would do the same I guess if I used public transport. I would suggest getting medic tags and wallet cards to help medics in an emergency.

I don't use public transit, but for those places designated for handicapped to be for those w/ physical disabilities. That said if a designated area is not used, I'll have a seat until someone comes that is in need.

I am like a normal person and sit on a bench or seat. The Disability bench close to the front is mainly reserved for mothers with children in a stroller, people who are in a wheel chair, elderly seniors, or if someone had an operation and uses a cane, or if someone suffers from a physical condition. If no one in that category sits there, then it is open to the public. I sat up there when I was recovering from a hip operation and had a cane - now I sit on a seat like regular people.
