Bendable bus and ECVs

[Chip_Dale]

How many ECVs do the bendable accordian buses hold?

Two, maybe 3? I think they have two slots with tie downs and a third where you back up against a padded back rest to hold you in place when the bus stops. But since that's for wheelchairs only I'll go with two.

I think those busses take at lest 3 and 4 maybe I normally ride on one at lest once a trip and will look closer next week when I am there.

I really did hope they would increase the number of ECV/wheelchair spots but it looks like all they did was add the extra spot for a non tied down wheelchair user. I've used that extra spot and it was fine for me but I don't need much to feel secure.

Here is a video of the bus interior. At 9 seconds in you see the pad for a wheelchair user to back up to. Then it pans around and you can see the 2 tie down spots.

Are these buses being used year-round at the Values now? Or are they still being used primarily at busier times of the year?

Year round mostly just pop and aoa when busier they have sent one to one of the port orleans resorts.

They can't fit in all the resorts like all of the Epcot resorts and magic kingdom ones. They just use it for magic kingdom and sometimes animal kingdom well at least they did some work to take them. So sure once pandora opens they will use them their more.

Dhs and Epcot still need to be reconfigured and worked on to take them. When it slower they my not use them but most days their at least two running if not more. They replace two buses on the route so it saves Disney labor and money and frees up buses to handle other routes or back up other routes. So they will use them year round.

It a small fleet of 20 so it plays into the two maybe three resorts when busy. Disney could technically do both pop and aoa same time during slower times with atleast four running.

Sorry for bad grammar and spelling and rambling
