I think that the Disabled American Veterans using their wheelchairs on
our public transportation systems to get to the VA hospital have earned
that "right".

And the extra cost is primarily that they didn't originally use a universal design
to begin with. When you plan these things properly to begin with, not only
is the cost difference in the noise, but you also find that all sorts of people who
aren't so visibly impaired benefit.
