🎥360 VR Mobility Experience - Traveling On A City Transit Bus With A Mobility Scooter

Do you have a mobility scooter and wonder if taking it on the public transit city bus? I am going to show you what it is like to do just that. Watch me take you on a 360 virtual reality video showing you just how easy it is to travel on a bus with a mobility scooter. At any point during this interactive video, you can move around with you mouse (PC/MAC) or phone by using your fingers.

I want you all to know that I did this as a first time experience myself. I found that this mobility experience was rather simple. While waiting for the bus, I had some common knowledge to know that I would be loading from the from of the bus using the Broward County Transit. I also knew that an ADA compliant folding ramp would deploy for my ease of access. I find it that the Broward County Transit system has been nothing but courteous and professional when it comes to accommodating a person with a mobility scooter.

Once I got on the bus, I recognized the handicap signs by the seats. This is where I needed to park. I was easily able to make a three point turn and parallel park where the folded seats were. The bus driver communicated with me to determine which stop I was getting off. He asked in advance so he knew when he would have to deploy the handicap ramp for me to exit the bus. Once the bus came to a complete stop, I moved to the center of the isle and proceed to wait behind the yellow safety line until the ramp was deployed.

The reason we are doing these videos is to help educate people on how they can have an independent lifestyle. Videos like this give you a real life experience of what its like in certain situations with a mobility scooter. Mobility experience videos help people understand what it is really like. These videos also help answer questions you have have had. Regardless we do this all for you and we get the pleasure of doing so. Thank you everyone for supporting us. We really appreciate it!

I'm glad your busses work that way where you live, not so much in Seattle Washington..
My daughter use to have to take the bus to Seattle with her walker for work, it was not a good experience, the handicap seats are always full of non-handicapped and they won't move and the drivers won't do anything... Some of the busses are not handicap friendly and the drivers will not help you on or off... On one bus that did lower to the curb the driver threw her walker off the bus, he said she wasn't fast enough... Now this is with a walker, it's worse for people with wheelchairs, the drivers won't make people move or put the seats up so you can strap in... I've even seen them refuse to let people in wheelchairs and scooters on...
