Pros: The people where way more responsible, respectfully, and more from the last time I've used the bus... Cons: The seating... Maybe the train method might work... By turning a set of seats on both sides of the bus to face each other that can possibly also help out with wheelchair placement... Although the wheelchair would take up 4 seat the bus seat would fold to accommodate this effort. Tips: None really... Just listen to your driver for all instructions and everything would run smooth.
