The article presents it as though it was merely an unfortunate oversight. I assumed incompetence rather than maliciousness for my comment, purely out of a sudden fit of politeness.
I completely agree however that assuming pure idiocy rather than malignancy is stretching probability more than slightly in this case, given we are talking about highly experienced profiteers.
- michaelt 12y agoThe article says they "bought old NABI buses and refurbished them" Replacing seats doesn't need structural changes to the bus - but if you've brought a coach that has six steps and a sharp right turn as you board, there's just no way to adapt them.
- lotsofmangos 12y agoThere is a very wide range of choices if looking to buy an old bus. If someone is planning a transport company, and they buy a coach with six steps and a sharp right, then belatedly realise 'oh-noes, I can't refit for wheelchairs', and cannot fix this by getting a different bus, despite having lots of investment and only one route, then I start to disbelieve the narrative if I also think that any of the executives can tie their own shoes.
