Thanks to wheelchair vans and public buses with wheelchair ramps, mobility within the community is now a possibility for handicapped individuals. Buses are becoming a more reliable source of transportation; they are also more affordable for most individuals, as opposed to purchasing a van. Not every handicapped person is able to find a reliable van driver either. Without handicapped buses, mobility would be difficult for many individuals. Today there are more handicapped buses in every city and most towns. Foreign countries are adopting the regular use of handicapped buses also, making international travel much easier for the handicapped.
Not every city has a large bus system, but most smaller cities and some small towns have a handicapped bus that is available for any person in the community requiring it. Depending on the city and what type of public transportation is available, there may be different choices. Some large metropolitan cities have the regular public transit system, such as Metro, along with dial-a-ride services. If the dial-a-ride company has a high volume of calls, it may be necessary to call far in advance to make an appointment for a ride. Some dial-a-ride programs only require a short notice. Some communities also have taxi service and offer taxi stamps or credits to handicapped individuals, giving them a monthly allowance of rides for free.
Riding a handicapped bus for the first time may seem a little confusing. Tickets, whether one-time or monthly pass, are purchased from the bus driver. Ask about handicapped discounts or passes, which may have a special rate or waiver of fees. Handicapped veterans often receive free bus passes. Wait for the bus driver to lower the bus ramp or lift. If assistance is required, simply ask and the driver will be willing to help. Let the driver fasten the wheelchair into the special handicapped space and state the desired destination.
To find what types of public transportation is available in the community, searching on an internet search engine will yield results for that city. Usually bus routes will be found, but additional transportation systems may not appear on the search. Dial-a-ride or taxi stamp services are usually obtained by some community research. Ask the city's Chamber of Commerce department about what kinds of services for handicapped buses the community has. Some towns or cities may even have their own special policy of free rides for those who are handicapped.
