Buses are just as bad - Glasgow has a low proportion of kneeling buses for the disabled I feel, and seems to have little driver training in the needs of the blind / deaf.

Other than on the 62 I got home - someone had puked up the back and they continued to run the bus back to the garage rather than taking it off immediately. Yuck.
