Disability discrimination on public transport

I am currently watching a quite alarming segment on bbc news about the discrimination people with disabilities face on london public transport. The stories it includes are shocking: you should hear some of the excuses cabbies use to stop wheelchair users and guide dogs getting into their cars, blatantly breaking the law. Of course, if I think about it I experience such things all the time, but I am so used to it that I suppose it fades into the background. However, I am glad this issue is getting some media attention: I don’t think most people realise the casual discrimination we crips so often face. There’s apparrently a progra on about it later – tune in if you can.
