Allen Mankewich, a wheelchair user and consultant with the Independent Living Resource Centre, said Winnipeg Transit should create a policy so oversized strollers don't take wheelchair spots on Winnipeg Transit buses. She wants Winnipeg Transit drivers to make sure wheelchair users get on the bus hassle- and confrontation-free. The City of Winnipeg said it has decals on all of its low-floor buses to indicate designated areas for wheelchairs and strollers. Winnipeg disability advocate Jim Derksen said he wants the City of Winnipeg to add more flexible seating on its buses, so both wheelchairs and strollers have more room. John Callahan, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1505, which represents Winnipeg bus drivers, said the union wants more buses put on the street to help deal with the issue.
