Disability rights activists to come up with plan for accessible bus stops
A wheelchair user tried getting on the electric low-floor bus with the ramp and the bus tilted down. With great might, he got on the first ramp, but the incline was too great for the next ramp, and he came rolling back to the bus stop. Crutch users too found it difficult to use the ramp.
