Some transit agencies...well at least for OCTA and LACMTA, send some of their lead mechanics to bus manufurer assembly lines to make sure their orders meet or exceed their specifications.Speculating, I wonder if Nova Bus used the 30-inch guideline, and then the transit system got upset when a non-standard wheelchair (i.e., a motorized wheelchair) could not navigate. If this speculation is correct, and the Nova Bus contract is just to meet ADA specifications, then it should be the transit system and/or the disabled person who is out of luck, not the manufacturer. |
