The bus from another perspective: Transit operators train better serve passengers with disabilities

"Something has to change about this situation," Kolb tells them. "See where the driver is standing now? He needs to be oh the other side of the ramp. When you are assisting a person in a wheelchair, you should always stand on the opposite side of the joystick. What happens if I need assistance halfway down and the driver has to lean across me? He or she could accidentally bump my joystick and send us both flying. Remember, safety for all-all the time. That means that you shouldn't put yourself at risk. So stay on the opposite side of the joystick and there will be less of a chance for anyone to get hurt."
