On the bus this morning, my pushchair and a pram in the wheelchair space. A couple with a child in a wheelchair got on. The child got out and walked up the bus leaving the man with nowhere to put the wheelchair without folding it.



The baby in the other pram was only 3 weeks old (mine are 3 and 1) so I said I'd get off to make space. The whole bus seemed to errupt trying to make space for us and tutting about the wheelchair. The man did say he'd fold but I didn't want to add any inconvenience to his day and hopped off.



As it happened the next bus was literally right behind and about to go round my original bus but stopped as I put my arm out. I got on explaining that a wheelchair had just got on the other bus. He said "You got off because of the wheelchair? You dont have to do that you know, you should have just stayed on."



What??? I get that asking (forcing?) pushchairs to make way for wheelchairs is probably not a bus drivers favourite task, but actively encouraging people not to move? I'm not wrong that this is crazy, am I? If I let their head office know will they do anything?
