Well I imagine there are not many public busses in Bangkok like in Australia, where the busses have hydraulic suspension and lower to road level to let a wheel chair on, but at least there is one advantage for disabled people in Bangkok, that is at least a taxi is affordable to the minimal incomed farang.

We have many buses here in Wales with the hydraulic suspension that lowers, and, as I understand it (but I may be wrong) all newly registered buses must have this.

Also in Wales (unlike England) we issue all residents over the age of 60 with a free bus pass, this is also available to disabled people with mobility difficulties too. And living near the English border it also allows us to travel on cross-border routes provided the journey either begins or ends in Wales.

Now if only the nearest bus stop wasn't 2km from my home...
