Calgary Transit now 100% accessible

CALGARY — Calgary Transit retired its last high-floor bus and became 100% accessible, reported the Calgary Herald.

The retirement means all 1,100 Calgary Transit buses are now low-floor buses, which boast ramps that can be lowered to make it easier for customers with mobility issues to board the bus.

The fully accessible fleet means not only passengers in wheelchairs, but elderly transit riders, injured men and women on crutches, and people pushing strollers will easily be able to board a bus without relying on assistance from the driver or struggling up stairs. For the full story, click here.
