Disabled Person refused on Bus

San Fransisco bus driver would not let a a few disabled people on the bus.

Obviously this city has problems.

Could you imagine if the outcome was different, if the wheelchair bound lady was black? Seriously, how lazy can this bus driver be to not helped the disabled? Its his job as city representative to provide fair service to all citizens. Why did this needed to happen? He would of easily get his 8 hr shift in by the day.

I'd say the bus driver has problems, and that it's a bit odd to indict a whole city based on one incident.

Not a defense of San Fran as a whole, btw. I've never been there, so I can't really speak to it as a whole. But from the article, it appears to be just a stupid driver, and isn't reflective of some citywide ordinance or law.

There is not enough information in the video to determine whether there was enough space for the woman or not. I have lived in San Francisco, and it is not uncommon for buses to be so full that they cannot accept any new passengers. The drivers do exactly what this driver did, tell the people waiting at the stop that there is not enough space for new passengers, and to wait for the next bus.

You seem pretty focused on one word, if I had said this guy, you would have found a problem with that, and said something else.

So sure let me recant, This guy was an ******* **********.

*Reads article*

Yea, this guy sounds like an ass.

Wow, the driver wouldn't let a disabled person on the bus.

Obviously the US has problems

Are you saying disabled people are a problem? That's cold.

Frisco? The woman should've said she was an illegal alien.

That bus driver should be ashamed and fired. What an idiot.

The U.S has the same problem the rest of the world has... Some of its citizens are ASS HOLES!

We should export all of yours to Germany.

Where they apparently don't have any.

My mom is wheelchair bound and there have been at least a couple instances where we couldn't board a bus because there was not enough room to accommodate us.

Im sure the driver didn't get out and scream at you and tell you off.

The Guy drove a bus in San Fran.

I can't see how that job could led to a guy snapping one day.

Hahaha

Disabled person refused on bus?

Sounds like the west has problems.

In the East the bus would have ran over the person in the wheelchair.

Except for the fact that in the article it states she was eventually let on the bus, so obviously they had the room to get her on.

Then he goes to berate her even more as she gets off on her stop. The problem lies with the driver not wanting to take the time to let a disabled person board. They have to kneel the bus and then strap the chair/scooter down and it takes time, but it's also something they are paid to do.

If a driver refused to let my family on because of my daughter's wheelchair, I would be livid.

It's called tough love. Maybe if more disabled people were banned from public transportation, they'd be forced to take some self-responsibility and be less disabled.
