PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A federal judge ruled that Amtrak can charge a group of wheelchair users extra to ride in the same car together.
The wheelchair users, members of Disabled in Action of Pennsylvania, travel to Washington regularly to lobby. They sued after Amtrak told them that they could ride together on a Philadelphia-to-Washington train but that some of them would have to pay $200 more than the usual ticket price to cover the cost of removing seats.
The group sued, saying the policy violated the federal Americans With Disabilities Act.
