Here it would be good to mention that we live in Turku. If not otherwise
mentioned, in this thread _bus_ or other words referring to public transit
refer to a vehicle or service belonging to the Turku area transit authority
Föli.
On Föli buses, a wheelchair user and the person accompanying them get to travel
for free: https://www.foli.fi/en/accessibility#:~:text=board%2E-,Wheelchairs.
There is no requirement to show documentation of need.

Two weeks ago, we were taking the bus home. We were able to board without any unusual difficulty, and everything seemed to be going well until the driver called us to the front of the bus. As the only walking person, I went alone. The driver asked us to pay our fare. I explained to them that the rules allowed a wheelchair user and escort to travel for free, and that was why we had not paid. /4
