Back when there was still 'low floor' buses running that weren't compliant with accessibility laws due to the space for a pushchair, although could theoretically accommodate a wheelchair, not having the correct layout or the 'ironing board' rest, has anyone here ever seen a bus driver turn a wheelchair user away and explain that the space for a pushchair cannot be used for a wheelchair when the wheelchair user argues that the bus is low floor?
On the other hand, has anyone here seen on a non accessibility compliant 'low floor' bus a wheelchair using the pushchair space, even though I'm guessing it would have been strictly speaking against the law if not the bus companie's rules as well?
Also, am I right in guessing that using the pushchair space as a wheelchair space on a non accessibility compliant 'low floor' bus would have been breaking the law?
