I am wondering whether anyone here has had experience with getting the Segway around using buses? I raise this as I do not drive. I use mass-transit to get around and have been investigating the possible ways of taking the Segway on the bus to other locations in my community.
I currently use the fixed route bus verses the dial-a-ride, due to a lack of reliability. The buses in some instances have a lift that comes down for passengers with wheelchairs or the front end drops to the curb to make the step up easier... a.k.a. the kneeler bus.
I am curious as to how people managed to negotiate the Segway on to the bus and how the unit is stowed during the "ride."
I have some doubts about using it on the buses and do anticipate a level of resistance on the part of the drivers. Currently, I am trying to identify key officials within the transport system to orient them to the Segway. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
