Strollers on the bus

[BigTikiDaddy]

I'll bet the farm that there was way more to that story then we have been given. Besides the fact that it was the size of the stroller that was the cause not because you had a stroller and others were allowed to have one. There would have been some difference and I'm guessing that size was it.

I don't know what Canadian Laws are so I won't address that issue, it just seems funny that a nation that gives so much lip service to how kind and gentle they are would so blatantly ignore the safety of others.

Oookay..I wasn't like ignoring the safety of others. It was a normal sized stroller, not some monster one, and I was heading to drop of my daughter to the babysitter, she was around 1 at the time. There was a pretty bad snowstorm going on at the time, so I took the bus to get there instead of walking it. The only rules as for strollers, is that they cannot take up the aisles. That's fine, I understand that, the spots for the seniors/handicaped were not occupied by anyone who needed them, just teenagers going to the highschool (which was the same stop I needed to get). We got to a certain stop, wherethe driver then told me I had to get off, there wasn't enough room for all the passengers. I had to get off. I have taken the buses here for 20 + years, and I've had to squeeze past strollers right at the door, I've been told there is no more room on buses with 4-5 strollers taking up far more space then needed. Guess it was just a bad day for the driver. The thread reminded me a bit of that, so I thought I'd rant a little, and that's that.

Opps, sorry. Let me know when it gets back to buses. Probably after it changes to boats.

What I would LOVE to see are some kind of cargo carriers for strollers on the backs of the buses like they have for skis in ski resorts. That would take care of most of them....
