Transportation Safety

I do not know that I will have much time to write a post later since my classes start today, so I wanted to take some time to make one now...even if it is short. Public Transportation Safety for people with disabilities is a huge issue. I am often disgusted by public transportation drivers' willingness to help people with disabilities get on the bus and to help make sure that they are secured in the right manner. A couple weeks ago, I watched a man get on the bus who used a wheelchair. The driver was nice and helpful (not like some of the other drivers I've seen), but the problem was that the seats wouldn't move back. There was something wrong with the track that they were on. The driver worked for about 5-10 minutes and finally got the seats to move. Keep in mind, that the individual was outside in the cold waiting to get on the bus. Furthermore, once the individual got on the bus, the driver did not secure this man's chair. Anyone else see a problem here?

Here is a link to a great presentation on Public Transportation Safety.
