Parents Refuse to Leave Wheelchair Space for Disabled Patrons

Shocking moment disabled woman is told she can’t get on bus as pram is in ‘priority space’ – just minutes after court case victory for wheelchair users on exact issue

Disabled man forced off bus by refusal to move pram sparks equality test case

   Apparently, this problem was so widespread in England that a man had to take his case against the bus company to the Supreme Court. The law now states that disabled passengers have priority, and that merely requesting that parents move, but not requiring to do so, was not enough. Apparently, parents had often refused to move, meaning the wheelchair-bound person was unable to get on that bus. I am not too fond of some of the websites linked above, so I apologize for linking them. I couldn't find the first story on any other site.
