more about prams on busses

It has been another long day, and it’s only half past four. Trust me, guys: all will be revealed quite soon. We just came home, rather tired and very hungry, and I found this link in my inbox. It concerns the subject of prams on busses, and whether they should move if a wheelchair user needs the wheelchair space. This is, of course, one of my major bugbears: although we have mercifully been using taxis for the last few days, kindly supplied to the paraorchestra free of charge by Radio taxis, I have lost count of the times I haven’t been able to get on a bus because the space was taken by a pram or two. The sign clearly states they should move, yet the mothers blatantly refuse to take their babies into their arms, fold the pram and allow me on. It makes me furious, and it looks like I’m not the only one. However, judging from the comments in reply to the article, some people are prepared to defend such selfishness. As one reply to such a comment states, though, prams can be folded, but I can’t fold my wheelchair.
