A blind Nanaimo woman is upset after running into problems accessing BC Transit with her guide dog.
More than a month ago, Hudon, a long-time transit user, was on her way to work and tried to get on a bus when the driver asked for guide dog certification papers.“I said this is all I have, and he kicked me off the bus,” Hudon told CHEK News in an interview.She complained to the Regional District’s transit manager, who “up and down apologized,” recalled Hudon.Hudon was satisfied with the apology until it happened again.
“This is how I am,” said Hudon. “Is this the bus stop because they all look different? Is this the bus stop? Am I at the bus stop? Did I miss the bus stop or the bus? Is it the right time?”“We are investigating this matter with our partners at the Regional District of Nanaimo,” reads the statement to CHEK News.
