And - as proved by the above exchange - never any thought for people who
can't walk or use buses.

Why on earth would SWMBO chance her arm waiting at a bus stop, onluy to
be told she can't get on *this* bus, because there's no space for the
wheelchair.

Or, in 30 minutes, the next bus.

Or, after an hour, the bus after that.

(Bearing in mind this is how the DWP would require you to get to work).

There doesn't seem to be a problem providing a disabled parking space
anywhere it's needed. Including one round here right on a junction - where
previously there was a yellow line to stop parking and give decent
visibility at that junction. They actually had to move the stop line, so
buses using the junction can swing out past that parked 'disabled' car.

We also have buses which can lower themselves to allow easier access to
wheelchairs, etc. So having speaking signs for the blind etc seems only
fair. Also indicator boards for the deaf.
