P.S Tube? Fuggedit.
You end up having to rely on passenger's help far too often. And I think we all know how often that goes wrong. Sometimes dangerously so. They always think they know how to handle a wheelchair. They usually don't.
For some reason, they seldom wait for instructions, they just rush in and grab any old bit. Or, they do wait for you to explain, but then they simply fail to follow them....e.g grab the wheelchair HERE and NOT there (proceeds to grab wrong part, wheelchair rotates in space and almost dumps me out on the floor).
Ambulances are good transport though. Paramedics are usually quite adept at handling wheelchairs. Shame they don't run the tube/world eh? Good sense of humour too. Pity I only meet them in ''extenuating circumstances'', plus they only take you to hospital....Right where you don't really want to go. (On a side note, just found out that an estranged younger sibling is studying to be a paramedic in my city. It'll be very strange if she shows up to a call out.....)
