#1: At probably the busiest stop inbound, the driver had trouble getting a wheelchair out of its restraints and had to stop the bus and tell everyone to get off. This may be because the guy in the wheelchair started moving before he was completely undone; I heard the driver tell him to wait at one point. You know, if manufacturers can (finally!) get standard attachment points for infant and child car seats, they can do the same for wheelchairs on buses.
#2: I got on another bus, and at the second busiest inbound stop, there was a younger woman pushing an older man in a wheelchair onto the bus, both of whom looked as if they'd seen better days. Well, she started to get the chair on the bus, but he dug his feet in on the pavement and refused to get on the bus. The girl started screaming at the guy in the chair. The driver finally said he was retracting the ramp and going because, "He's messed up." The man in the chair was doubled over, and definitely didn't want to get on the bus. Le sigh.
I hope the folks in the wheelchairs got the help they needed. And you couldn't pay me enough to drive a bus in a big city.
