If I was on crutches I wouldnt even attempt to go upstairs... it is idiotic imo

I agree in part but standing for any length of time on crutches isnt really an option and if no one was willing to give up a seat on the lower deck what was he meant to do?

Surly when the man boarded the bus the driver should have waited till he was seated before setting off?? It's not rocket science.

Enviro400's are the worst for jolting forward when setting off and when im moving to get on or off the bus I sometimes struggle and I'm fully able so imagine an older less able person or someone on crutches - it's an accident waiting to happen.
