Hello, teachers.
I have asked a similar question a little while ago, but let me ask again because the usage of articles is quite confusing to me.

Which one is appropriate ?

We know there are priority seats on the trains and buses and what purpose tyey are to serve.
However,
1. I often see young people occupying priority seats.
2. I often see young people occupying the priority seats.

If 2 is correct, is it because "the priority seats" refer to "priority seats" in the first sentence or because they are the ones in the specific train where the young people are ?

Thank you in advance!!
