What is proper bus boarding etiquette when a member of your party uses a wheelchair for mobility?
My 8 year old son uses a wheelchair and I always feel bad about boarding the bus first.
We always wait in the designated area, and the driver stops and loads us first.
Okay, so lets say there are 20 people already in line when we show up. A bus shows up 5 minutes later and proceeds to load us first.
I feel bad being loaded first because other people were waiting in line before us. Infact, I feel so bad that we have refused to sit and give those seats of others.
I guess I feel bad because I feel like half of the people in line our probably silently cursing us.
It's the same reason I prefer not to use the GAC.
So. What is the "fair" thing to do?
