I'm curious why GRT feels these sorts of announcements are needed. I don't ride on public transit here but I do regularly in Europe. Buses have seats near the front that are designated for seniors, disabled, pregnant women, etc. Everyone including children use those seats if they're unoccupied. But in every case that I've witnessed they'll get out of those seats the moment they're approached by someone who needs them. There's never been a need for the bus driver to intervene. It's just done.
