Default Buggies are wheelchairs!

But the design of buses has improved and the parents , who are much
more numerous than wheelchair users, might reasonably expect that
they don't have to mess around with folding buggies any more.

Are they prepared to fold up a pushchair if a wheelchair user gets on a
bus they are already on?


They are supposed to be - there are notices in most areas saying that
they must. Whether they are or not, I don't know - the last time I saw
a wheelchair user on a bus (two days ago, incidentally), there was only
shopping in the bay, not pushchairs.
