Low floor plus ramp looks pretty accessible to me. low floor with ramp is accessible, unless a lot of ramps have been retrofitted the first couple thousand low floors were delived without the ramps....will double check with my source in London. my check shows that as of Sept approx 3500 of the 5500 LT buses are Low floor, most of these have a kneeling feature and space on board for wheelchairs but most do not comply with DDA (UK-ADA) "only the low floor buses with the double center doors have the power ramps" LT proclaims that their bus fleet will be fully DDA compliant by 2017 NYC TA buses have been 100% ADA compliant for a number of years... also a much higher percentage of the subway (tube) stations are accessible..
