Stranded by Halifax Transit
Wheelchair user says bus system needs to up its safety game.

(aniel ). Towsey says Halifax Transit buses aren*t safe for wheelchair users.
H+,-./ B0-1M23T
- wheelchair user and fre4uent transit critic is again calling out Halifax Transit after he says the bus system stranded him in
(artmouth overnight.
,ast month (aniel ). Towsey too5 the bus out to Maynard ,a5e to photograph the sunset. The bus he too5 had four-point
tie-downs to secure his wheelchair6 but when he tried to return to his peninsular home6 he says none of the buses that would
ta5e him directly home had the proper tie-downs. -s a result6 he contends Halifax Transit left him in (artmouth for $$ hours
overnight.
+n a video he filmed of his experience6 Towsey can be heard telling a bus driver: 78o you can9t ta5e me home. +9m sitting out
here in the dar5. +f something happens to me and somebody mugs me6 who9s going to be blamed! Because you guys at
Metro Transit can9t provide safe buses for wheelchairs.7
+n the last few years6 the city has gradually replaced its fleet with low-floor wheelchair-accessible buses. 8ome of the newer
buses only have one-point tie-downs6 which attach a chair to the bus at a single point rather than securing it on all four
corners. These tie-downs aren9t safe for Towsey9s motori:ed chair because it weighs more than ;'' pounds6 he explains.
7There9s no way that wheelchair is not going to move.7
ity spo5esperson Tiffany hase says Halifax Transit sent an -ccess---Bus to pic5 up Towsey. The wheelchair rights
advocate says that9s true6 but the -ccess---Bus was a newer model that couldn9t fit his chair on board.
-fter hours of attempting to get home6 Towsey9s chair battery ran out of power and he became stranded. 0ventually6 a
helpful police officer went to his apartment to get his battery charger and Towsey was able to ta5e the ferry home early the
next morning.
urrently ;< of Halifax9s &=> accessible low-floor buses use the one-point system. hase says it complies with 3ova 8cotia
1tility and .eview Board safety regulations and will be installed in all new buses going forward.
?or its &'$$ accessibility report6 Metro @now HalifaxA Transit consulted with seniors and people with disabilities about
improvements to the bus system. Two concerns noted in the report were a 7need for standard wheelchair securement
device/tie-downs67 and 7operator training in disability awareness6 the use of securement devices and providing assistance.7
Baul Blaauw6 a transit customer who uses a manual wheelchair to get around6 says he9s experienced some of the same bus
problems as Towsey. Bus drivers9 5nowledge of the tie-down systems can vary widely6 he says6 and some drivers don9t use
the tie-downs at all. He describes the forward-facing four-point tie-down system that includes a seatbelt as 7marvelous67 but
says the newer one-point tie-down can be unsafe.
2n some buses6 wheelchair users are positioned facing toward the bac5 of the bus6 which ma5es it difficult to 5now when
your stop is coming up.
hase says the rear-facing passive restraint system is widely used by other transit agencies in anada and 7meets all codes
and safety regulations.7 8he said basic training for drivers includes accessibility awareness and use of the tie-down systems.
8ix years ago6 Towsey was cycling in (artmouth when a car struc5 him. The accident left his bac5 in shambles and he now
re4uires a wheelchair. He believes the city has a long road ahead if it wants to ma5e its bus fleet6 and other municipal
infrastructure6 fully accessible.
7There9s no wheelchair rights at all. 2nce you become disabled6 you lose all your rights. /ou9re treated li5e an animal.7

The system used on the newer buses li5e stated in the article are standard. The system is called the passive restraint system.
The system has been approved in the 18- by the -(-. Here in anada the system has been approved for use by every
provincial agency that governs buses.
The system is meant to increase speed of wheel chairs being loaded. This will in hopes help the disabled community have
more freedom and willingness to ta5e transit.
How does all of a sudden $ person decide its not safe for him to be loaded in a bus with this system. (oes he thin5 he 5nows
more then all of the studies that have been done on this system.
(oes he not reali:e that this exact system is available on buses in 3ew /or56 Toronto and Hust about every maHor 3orth

+ understand the aversion to sitting bac5wards but everything else is another story. Mr Towsey basically reHected a ride6 then
blamed someone else. This guy thin5s more belts are better but has a doctor9s note exempting him from re4uiring a lap belt.
+f someone is strapped into the bus properly6 the one strap plus padding is plenty to 5eep someone safe in the event of an
accident. (id he produce any studies or paperwor5 showing his fears were legit! +f so6 +9ll admit +9m wrong. 2therwise6 4uit

Here is the lin5 to to all The Halifax Metro Transit -rticles..if you really care to learn..
http://wheelchairrights.wordpress.com/halifax-metro-transit/Gheelchairs sit on castors..They weigh up to <'' lbs with the
occupant. The castors do not have bra5es. The one belt restraint goes across the nec5 and waist.

The chair will move and the belt will cho5e a person..(o some thin5ing.. Ghy would all manufacturers put certified four
point tie-downs on all wheelchairs world wide if they were no necessary! 3o manufacturer is permitted to sell any power
chair that does not pass the certification for the four point restraints..

Io to the lin5 above to do some studying and learn more about power chairs plastic bac5 rests that are no designed to hold
=''-<'' lbs while the bus puts its brea5s on... and there is much more information at the lin5 above.. ,earn if you care
before you ma5e any ignorant comments..Hey 8cooter ahhhhhJ6 yes you really should listen and learn...

-ctually the one belt restraint goes no where near your nec5 or waist shows what you 5nowJ
The single belt restraint hoo5s to the rear of the chair. +f the chair has tie down areas in the rear then that is what is used. +
had a friend of mine who was in a chair and that chair weighed in excess of ;'' lbs with out them sitting in it. They had no
problems riding metro transit on these buses. /ou Hust li5e to hear your self and love to belittle people that have no say in
what is bought or used.
My favorite is hearing you say that you thin5 the drivers are switching their routes Hust before they get to you. /our
reasoning every route that passed except the %$ was older buses. /ou are truly nutsJ The %$/$# most days/nights + see them
are always newer buses. The older ones that are on the routes are usually 7helper7 buses that are only around during the time
university gets out/in and rush hour.
/ou are not in anyway helping the cause of any disabled person including your selfJJ + have had many people who are
disabled who have had issues with one thing or another. They tal5ed very nicely to me and + went out of my way to help
them and be another voice. Gith the way you approach people + wouldn9t want to help you periodJJ + have watched your
videos on your site and all it proves is you are cra:y and have a self entitled attitudeJJJJ
)eply to .rtic by +aniel Towsey.
-rtic you are so wrong about many things.. ?irst if you listen to my video where the Halifax transit supervisors spea5../ou
can hear them say that the older flyer buses went up as a %$ but only new buses came bac5 down to where + was as a %$.
That can only happen if they are switching the bus numbers.
8econd the single belt in the new buses do not have a steel hoo5 to attach to power chairs. Bower wheelchairs can not be
secured in the middle with a single belt. Bower wheelchairs do not have any center tie down point. -nd the belt they use is
Hust li5e a car front seat belt three point lap and shoulder..the shoulder one goes by the nec5..
That belt is not and has never been for securing the chair..+t is only to secure the passenger in a manual wheelchair..-nd
manual wheelchairs only weigh at most ;' lbs..
/our claim that someone with a five hundred pound chair went on the bus is impossible.. The castors would move with any
movement of the bus.. and a power chair if it were possible6 secured at only one rear corner would surely cause the chair to
move sideways..
+f the chair is not secured the weight of the chair well crush the passenger.
The %$ route mostly only runs old flyer buses as it has always done..
+ am writing this response to you for the sa5e of other readers and not because you are worthy of any dignified response
from me..because you are not worhty with all your insults..

Thguy is a mental mind fK5 he is absolutely nuts6 was banned from metro transit for a long time for assaulting drivers6 has
no right to be considered a 9voice of the disabled9 as FFL of disabled people in halifax/dartmouth have written him off as a
nutcase for many years6 Hust go watch his videos on /ouTube..
These buses are used all over north america6 infact most transit systems dont even re4uire wheelchair users to use restraints.
+ li5e the new buses6 way easier to get on/off6 giving people with disabilities way more freedom and 5eeping the route on
time and bus driver not having to ta5e >-; minutes trying to get restraints to wor5.
Towsley i dont care what you say about anything6 your a nutcase6 go ta5e your meds6 M stop assuming your god of
accessibility.

The only viscous one is you Mr Towsey you have called people idots6dumb and stupid in the same forum. /ou have also
decided to attac5 one your fellow disabled people. That shows the amount of credibility you truly haveJ
3ow lets go through a few facts that you have posted. /ou mention that older buses have the four points tie down system
and for us to as5 why that was the case. Gell at the time those buses came out that was the standard newer buses are bound
to have newer technology. 8ame when the first flyers came out why where there not steps li5e so many before them !
3ext you attac5 the a fellow disabled person saying what have they contributed to the disabled community! Have they made
websites! etc. )ust because you go to wordpress and post a bunch of stuff doesn9t mean you have made a website for the
community means you have done something that people in grade school are taught how to do simple web page design with
a gui tool.
3ext you claim that you are not destroying steps made forward in the disabled community because there are none to begin
with. Gell lets pic5 that apart a bit because you are so 5een on having facts displayed. = years ago there was only a handful
of wheelchair routes and wheel chair users where only allowed to use these routes period now fast forward = years later over
='L of MT routes and <;L of buses are wheel chair accessible.That is a great leap forward is it the absolute best! 3o its
not but its a steep in the right directionJ The bridge terminal now wheel chair accessible yes. +s one door bro5en yeah seems
that way but still not bad and a great leap forward from the old bridge terminal. -lso Transit has a ,acewood Terminal being
built. There are plans to have further accessible options there6 they are considering integrated wheel chair seating. That way
you aren9t waiting in an aisle in the way6 you will be waiting in the seating area. 3ow lets loo5 at general business9 they have
improved wheel chair access by leaps and bounds in the last ; years. +s every business accessible nope but its better then it
was. 8o based on those facts how are there no steps being made to help the disabled community ! 8teeps are steeps no
matter how baby they may appear.
3ow when you respond to this + as5 you to try not to throw in sluts. + as5 you please stop repeating your same claims of
unsafe with more facts then your own pen or voice. Most of us have sited -(-6 1.B6 -2(- and other organi:ations that
have claimed them safe. -ll you have done is said they are unsafe. 8o lets see some concrete facts from agencies that study
this stuff.
)eply to .rtic by +aniel Towsey
There is no newer technology on the newer buses..periodJ The old proven ways are usually better because they were based
on common sense...which is lac5ing in your thin5ing.
The blindcane guy made statements of his so called credentials yet can not show to prove or name one issue he has helped
with and how he did it..oh did you 5now that it is illegal for the legally blind to drive or control any motori:ed vehicle!
Bower wheelchairs are much more dangerous to drive out side then automobiles... Blindcane does not have any active
outdoor life li5e + do...if he did + would of seen him fre4uently outside.
+f you read my article about my complaint to the Human .ights ommission about Halifax Transit. /ou would discover that
+ am the one that stopped the designated routes and bus stops policies.. But that never made anything better since all the new
buses can not tie down heavy power chairs...so everyday there are less and less buses and routes that are capable of
guarantying the be able to safely secure and transport heavy power chairs..
Gheelchair accessible does not represent the needs of power wheelchair users..)ust because + can get on the bus does not
mean it can transport my chair..Ghat is needed is the terminoly 7Gheelchair ?riendly7 Ghich would mean that all efforts
are made to meet the special needs of the disabled..which is not happening anywhere.. The higher the percentage gets for so
called accessible buses means the less buses that can transport heavy power chairs. ?or all the newer buses can not transport
heavy power chairs..
0arlier + said the old Halifax terminal.. + did a typo..+t was the old (artmouth bus terminal.. Io loo5 at my numerous reports
about not being able to get into the terminal because there is no reachable button to open the inside doors went entering..it is
li5e that at all the wheelchair entrances.
/ou 5now no truth.. -ccessibility is maybe two percent of where an able bodied person can go.. 8o why is it that not one
government building has a power wheelchair accessible bathroom! + wont tell you more.because you have no idea what a
power wheelchair accessibly bathroom is unless you chec5ed my website..
3o one in this town is ma5ing anything better because they do not refer to any intelligent disabled person that can explain
it..1nless of course those of you who have been learning from my website but wont admit it..Ghich is standard procedure
for all people who derive income from the corporate government../ou never spea5 the truth the whole truth and nothing but
the truth..
/ou are such and ignorant and insulting inhumane person..Telling me you do not want to hear or read anything from me..
/ou thin5 the so called inside pros 5now everything.. but they wont listen to anything from the disabled as your own
statements clearly proves..
/ou have Hust proven 0P-T,/ that your bad 5now it all attitude is the problem..
Brofessionals only profess to 5now.
Bros will never be masters but can only learn from masters if they Hust listen to the masters..
(o you not reali:e that pros will never master anything...
To master something you have to do it all yourself and master it..
8o turning things around..
How about you arrange for you to get a power wheelchair and + ta5e you around town for a few hours..
/ou would not be able to even steer it through a doorway..guaranteed..because you first need to master how to drive it..

weight6 no other user in Halifax has the same problems as you yet they ride the same buses. /ou have done nothing but yell
at people who didn9t agree with your views. /ou have said that transit endangered you that night. There is no evidence of
that you where offered drives from other drivers driving older buses to the bridge. /ou claim that the %$/$# was the only one
that could get you to that intersection of oxford and Ruinpool. Gell the ones could have done that. -lso if they had the
newer style bus you could have tried the ;& to get you to the corner of 3orth and .obie and powered on own the street. 2r
could have ta5en the = or <'. 2r you could have ta5en the ;& to the corner of 3orth and Gindsor and ta5en a $< or F'. -nd
do not respond with they are all you buses or something because you had options you Hust refused to ta5e them because you
wanted to ma5e a scene and ma5e people sorry.

/ou have a closed mind...............period.

3o one in a heavy power wheelchair is riding the new buses..
/ou 5eep ma5ing statements that you have never bac5ed once with any proof.
1nli5e me who has provided proof that you never loo5ed at..
/ou are Hust to ama:ingly ignorant..
?ortunately other readers will surly ma5e the effort to decide for themselves by loo5ing at my evidence.

-ll the buses on route one run new buses that can not tie down my chair.
8o you thin5 + should of gone to the bus terminal6 again you prove your ignorance and never loo5ed at my video of that
night where the bus driver harassed me and + chose to get off the bus.
8o +f + had made it to the bus terminal + would of had to get on the same bus that + was already waiting for. The %$6 so why
go down the street to another bus stop Hust to get on the same bus..

-ll those you mention that + could of..
?irst you do not understand that my battery was low. all those buses and transfers would of re4uired me ta5ing the ris5 to
Hust be further stranded if another new bus comes along.
Blus the longer it ta5es the more + had of my batteries running out.
Then add to that the lousy once an hour night schedules you have would of meant that it would of ta5en me many more
hours to get home. That is if all the buses you spo5e of were the old flyer buses with the proper four point tie downs.
it was FS>' when + got off that bus..There was only two more hours remaining before the buses stopped that could ta5e me
home.
/our ignorance is the same ignorance from everyone at management level of Halifax Metro Transit.
