When that happens, those that have any condition that is outside the "healthy" range are going to have particularly adverse issues. <br /><br />Since motorized wheelchairs and other such equipment cannot be accommodated, some service to have one at each destination for use should be required. Any breakages and damages to equipment be severely fined. I wish there were attorneys focusing on these issues.<br /><br />The fist on, last off model, however, appears to be important as the poster here indicates being Last on is truly humiilating and being first off can be risky with all of the passengers gung ho to leave.

Thank you.<br />"At no point in my life am I more aware of my disability than when I fly or try to access mass transportation. This is never easy, problems abound physically and socially."<br />Well said. As I write this I am in "negotiation" with a foreign government about an unreimbursed expense I occurred in their service. They flew me to speak at their international conference on human rights. My topic: The right of people with disabilities. My beef: They left me with a layover of 32 hours in transit and are not paying for the hotel.<br />Yes, "problems abound physically and socially."<br />ScottAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12035089687905137788noreply@blogger.com
