lolavix Posted July 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I know that wheel chairs are not allowed on buses, but are crutches? I was reading somewhere that 'luggage' is not allowed, so it started me thinking that crutches might be considered luggage. I also realize that crutches on buses are not the most convenient thing, but I just want to know if they are allowed before we proceed on our planning.

jollyjones Posted July 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm sure crutches are fine but be aware that you must go up a couple of steps to get into the bus. That is the problem with wheelchairs - it's not that they are not allowed, it's just that we have no accessible buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolavix Posted July 8, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thank you for your reply. My son is 8 and we can lift him up or down a few steps for the bus and carry the crutches. Likewise, we'd be able to lift him and fold the wheelchair, but even then, I read that folding wheelchairs are not allowed. (My impression was that even if it were folded, it wouldn't be allowed. I understand no accessibility for a lift or riding the bus while actually sitting in a wheelchair.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
