Disabled 'to sue for Tube access'
Annabel Smyth typed
Incidentally has anybody actually seen a wheelchair user on a bus yet? I have, on about 4 occasions. Getting the bus close enough to the kerb to use the exit doors was a problem, as were parked cars. Ramp problems once led to a bus being taken out of service. There have been times when the wheelchair users have been a little aggressive regarding the difficulties boarding or alighting the buses. As in the newsgroups, this has not endeared them to the others around. I appreciate life with disability is a challenge, as I live with increasing disability myself. I haven't in this country, although I have in New York; the space designed for them seems used by young mothers with pushchairs (Oh, how I envy them; I so remember walking home *miles* in the rain because my baby was asleep and I would have to wake her to get her out of her pushchair to get on a bus.....). The baby pushers are also sometimes a touch aggressive... -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |
