Father Goat Tonsils

By Father Goat Tonsils

After a long and much needed rumination, Father Goat Tonsils has come up with a new idea. It occurred to me that public buses are not very efficient at accommodating those who use wheelchairs. Instead of lifting the wheelchairs in the bus, the chairs could ride alongside the bus. This would be accomplished by mounting 20 or so special brackets along the side of the bus. When the bus stopped a wheelchair rider would pull alongside and clamp on to a bracket, this would allow them to ride along like a motorcycle sidecar. An advantage of this would be that a rider could pull the release handle at any time and coast to the roadside. They would not have to wait for a scheduled stop. Also the wheelchair riders would not have to pay a fare so there would be no need for them to interact with the driver.
