Wheelchair users and prams on public transport, whose priority

[Cheekster]

Yeah, they should be strapped to the overhead luggage rack.

What a bizarre statement to make.

 

We're talking about how you fold up a pushchair, and you're thinking about giving away children.

And you would be thrown off the bus, and quite rightly.

You're clearly a very selfish person.

 

I'm quite certain that I wouldn't be thrown off the bus, actually.

I'd love to see you thrown off for refusing to let the wheelchair user use the space reserved for them. And banned from using the bus again.

I'm quite sure you would. Do you know what a lovely person that makes you?

What is bizarre is that you clearly didn't read the post I responded too.

Its bizarre that you think throwing infants off a bus is the moral thing to do.

I find it strange people would advocate having a child loose on a bus when it's illegal in a car.

 

A very poor comparison. Using your logic, I find it strange that people would advocate having a child in a pushchair on a bus when it is illegal in a car.

You aren't coming across as lovely either I am afraid. What is so difficult about removing your child from the pushchair and folding it up. If your device can't be folded with one hand (the other holding your child), then you have made a poor purchasing decision.

Lets hope you are never in this situation with some of this lot on the bus, they might just throw you and your three kids off the bus whilst its still moving, its amazing that they think throwing small infants off a bus is the moral thing to do.

Not the kind of person that I would ever wish to meet.

What makes you think that Cheekster only has one child, she told everyone several pages back that she has three children and that the oldest is just three years old.

And I balance my other two children on my head, I suppose?

Keep it civil or suspensions will be issued.

Fair enough, I have read the whole thread but must have missed that.

Ok fair enough, as above I didn't know you had three children. However myself, and the vast majority of respondents to the poll would rather you inconvenienced than the person in a wheel chair. I would find it fairer if you were asked to leave the bus with your brood than if a disabled person was refused carriage because of your party of offspring.

 

Ideally you would both be able to travel, but you being inconvenienced would be the lesser of two evils in most peoples opinions.

Sat out in the cold who do you think would get hypothermia first, an adult or a baby?

 

I would always put a baby before myself no matter what disability I had.
