If I know disability laws it's a legal matter nevermind poor service unless they provide an alternative and being told to wait for the next bus isn't that alternative
It's also not really quicker as it's confusing for most people. They shouldn't be in service full stop imo.
It would be quicker and less confusing if GNE used the centre exits whenever possible. GNE is causing the confusion, and frankly unnecessary inconvenience.
I’ve lost count the number of times drivers have made us squeeze all the way to the front on a packed bus to alight, when the centre exit doors could’ve been used.
Nevertheless, the issue of wheelchair passengers being left behind at the bus stations which can only accommodate front door boarding, is not acceptable.
Why weren’t ramps fitted to the front doors of the E400 dual doors, before their entered service? Surely that would’ve been cheaper than say the cost they went to convert each of the dual door B9s to single door.
