I am a supervisor on a mass transit system in another city...and strollers are the number one issue facing operations people today. An open stroller is a hazard to everyone else on the bus. In an accident it will block the asle and act like a dam..or worse, it will be thrown forward because its not tied down like a wheelchair would be. I suggest GGW go to youtube and post the video from the Oklahoma City bus crash from April. The bus hits a building...with baby in the stroller thrown nearly the entire length of the bus, ending up at the front door, blocking the exit of the injured. In lower income areas, the fancy stroller has become the status symbol for single mothers. Ive actually heard them talking about the strollers in the same fashion some would talk about their new car or latest electronics purchase. Its all about who can get the most elaborate and fancy stroller now...without considering what they are asking of their transit system when getting on board. By fed law, the wheelchair area has be surrendered when a wheelchair boards...and we have arguments with stroller moms who refuse to move their cadillac stroller for a wheelchair. So now, strollers HAVE To be folded before boarding...and dont even think of using one as a grocery cart when returning from walmart!
