Wheelchair user on the bus

The whellchair users can view computers, and their issues are architectural barriers where blind people, who are low-incidence, have problems with attitudes. This woman seemed like an extremely intelligent young person, who had talents, dreams and skills. Untapped talent, and untapped market, and why aren't we employed and why aren't we leaders making decisions? I just shake my head. Koraling Lynne

On AnchorRides

I really like many of the drivers. I especially like the ones who respect us and speak to us as real people. Cliff, Tony, and some of the drivers such as Pano, talk to us as equals, and like their jobs because of the disabled folks they work with. I have always wondered why they are not earning what the people Mover bus drivers make. People Mover is the name of the public buses that pick people up. Why should the AnchorRides drivers, also in a union, be paid less? You know the answer? It's because even though the job is harder, we are the "throw-aways" and not worth as much. It's a sick thing--the way we are treated. I still care about the drivers, because they are the front lines with us. They get paid less, and we pay more than on a bus, and we earn less. What's the matter with that picture? Koraling Lynne
