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.

It is not in itself problematic if the driver doesn't know everything. The driver _should_ know the accessibility rules, but everyone has a first day, people forget things, and bus driver training probably focuses more on driving skill and less on getting to know all of the company's rules. If that had been it, I would have forgiven them. /5
