PASSENGERS' COMPLAIN * India - Chennai buses not disabled-friendly
Chennai,India -ND/TV, by Sanjay Pinto -February 12, 2009: -- The ordeal disabled passengers face everyday in Chennai was shocking enough. Out of Chennai`s government-run fleet of 3262 buses, hardly a handful are disabled-friendly. That`s for about a lakh disabled people in the city. This too was only after this young man with cerebral palsy took the Tamil Nadu government to Court in 2005... Since that court battle, the government has rolled out 1034 new buses. It claims some of them have low floors and are suitable for the disabled... But what happens when drivers don`t halt properly at bus stops? Or when route numbers are just not displayed at stops?...
