To think that pushchairs should have same priority as wheelchairs on buses?

Today - packed bus, I was in the pushchair bit on the bus, another mum got on with a buggy loaded with shopping. People sat in space that could have held another buggy in it didn't get up so both our pushchairs had to go in one space and my pushchair is one of those big all-terrain things! Then bus driver stopped bus for wheelchair user and asked us if either of us could fold down our pushchairs/move? Well, first of all, there wouldn't have been any room for us to sit down with our babies and also have our shopping on our knee or even stored on luggage shelf once pushchairs were on. Also the bus service I travel on has a bus every 4 minutes in the daytime. So the bus driver (who obviously has to be sen to be doing the right thing) got off the bus to tell the wheelchair user that the bus was full, and would he mind waiting for the next one, which he didn't anyway. What does everyone else think? Should we mums with our pushchairs be given the same priority as wheelchairs? Should bus drivers ask other passengers to move so that we can get on, instead of (sometimes) feeling like we are an annoyance and an obstacle to them?

Oh good gawd. Just because your a mother, doesn't mean you are now a VIP. Poor bugger in the wheelchair who had to wait for another bus and all you can think about is your entitled self!

why am I not surprised. Your selfish and repugnant attitude shines through with every sentence you post.

People like you make me sad. Not for you but for the example you set for your children.

As i said, morally, you're bankrupt.

Wow that's a really mature response isn't it, telling me to "fk off" . Hmm

laylabelle · 26/02/2017 23:40

It's sad that even though this was started in 2011 some attitudes havent changed!! That and the fact it's called a wheel chair space is still causing debate over priorities..

Really hope some of the comments made aren't from genuine people cause if so wow!!!

ITS A WHEELCHAIR SPACE

Dawndonnaagain · 26/02/2017 23:47

LailasMummy About as mature as insisting a buggy space is more important. Perhaps you'd like to discuss it with one of my children?

TyneTeas · 26/02/2017 23:52
