Full accessibility ensures that public transportation accommodates people with disabilities by providing necessary facilities and services. Proponents argue that it ensures equal access, promotes independence for people with disabilities, and complies with disability rights. Opponents argue that it can be costly to implement and maintain and may require significant modifications to existing systems.

Handicap people say they won't to be treated equally. Use transportation as-is or arrange for private transportation.
@9S2PDWW2yrs2Y
It all depends on the type of disabilities that they wish to make it accessible to, I take public transportation, and it Can be very uncomfortable being on a bus with people who have clear disabilities, in particular mental illnesses
@BCJNCCH1mo1MO
Yes but not all because some people are moving in a rush but maybe require a certain percent that needs to be so you can take that transportation or one without.
@9S5RTXT 2yrs2Y
No, the added costs of making all systems fully accessible may cost more than providing special door-to-door transportation for these individuals.
@BCXQ8W42wks2W
Only if they are federally funded
@BC69ZWM2mos2MO
Yes, for new public transportation systems, allow reasonable *options* for people with disabilities (seating, large enough entrances for wheelchairs).
@DSNEPatriot 6mos6MO
Yes, but do not make the requirement retro-active, meaning anything built prior to the new law would be exempt, so long as it is still in safe, operational condition and so long as it cannot be modified to meet the new requirement.
@B5X32CW10mos10MO
private investors would be willing to accommodate people with disabilities because they would make more money off of providing services for them
