I see that you said you took a Personal Scooter on a Greyhound bus on the Access lift not a wheelchair! There is policy at Greyhound Canada about scooters and the wheelchair lift! If you are curious about this policy; you can go to: "www.greyhound.ca" and scroll to where it says " Customers with Disabilities" and this page will provide the information you need! Transport Canada set out this "No Scooters on Wheelchair Lifts with Greyhound Canada due to safety reasons! I have spoken with the Management at the Vancouver Greyhound Station on this as well and they said that Personal Scooters will be transported as luggage underneath the bus- free of charge! If you do wish to book and use the wheelchair lift on future trips; you will have to use a wheelchair only not the scooter if you want travel on Greyhound Canada. I am a team member on the " Measuring Up Committee of Council" for People with Disabilities. Another great wbsite to check out is " www.whistlerforthedisabled.com. We are working on improving the accessibility rate for Whistler,BC. I happen to be disabled myself but physically and in a wheelchair full-time! I hope this information has been helpful and will clear up issues on your bus travels! Hi there I’ve seen your website before!
