Deaf and blind people are disabled too.


True, though deaf people are unlikely to need the additional time to
alight that is the purpose of that button, nor to need the ramp.

Blind people, OTOH, probably do, but unless they already know where
that specific button is (by the wheelchair space) are unlikely to use
it, IMO.


And abled people crammed into that space at busy times aren't likely
to (be able to) fight their way to a different coloured button.
