I hear you on that one. What is the point of paratransit if the regular buses still have to pick up the handicapped?Also, think about how many spots must be given up to retrofit a bus for the disabled.I am not trying to be a jerk, but mainstreaming the handicapped onto the regular bus system is kind of a disservice to everyone involved including the handicapped person who should be taken directly from point a to point b without dealing with nearly being killed by maniacal traffic.

I like to be by the door because on our Metrolink, you only have about 10 or seconds to get off the train before the doors close and trying to get through a crowd of people takes too much time. One time I got separated from family because of it. So yeah, I am staying by the doors. But then again I am only on the train for a few stops anyways so it makes sense why I would over others.

Nobody ever figured out that if it offends you, since you were not sentenced to be there by a court of law, you can actually move. We have so few of our freedoms left - go ahead and use one.Clearly your glass is always a little less than half full. Mew York is such a special place.

The only solution is to put on your crazy hat and scream as loud as you can when the doors open. They usually let me through. the most annoying thing on the subways are the people that stand in front of the door when you are trying to get out.
