'London bus driver refused to take my disabled daughter'

A woman says she was left feeling "ridiculed and belittled" by a bus driver who refused to let her young disabled daughter board.

"We would like to reassure her that making travel easier for Londoners with reduced mobility is one of our top priorities. We have one of the most accessible bus networks in the world and all bus routes are served by low-floor vehicles with an access ramp and dedicated space for wheelchair users.'Better training needed'

"I'm willing to be a part of a retraining process where I could take my daughter in her chair so drivers can become familiar with different types of wheelchairs," she said. "Instead of letting the ramp out, he shut the bus door and just left us there. I was so hurt because I don't understand why these drivers are so mean," Ms Pieternella said.

What you doing giving her away anyway

5 children is it 5 different dads that are no longer around.

Need a better system drivers shouldn't have to get ramps out manually they are not taxi drivers.

And she’s black too, double victimhood.
