I hopped on the bus with the unsolicited assistance of a person that was sure that the number 10 bus was pulling off right then. The helpful lady Pulled, pushed, and bullied us to the side of the barely moving fixed route bus. The driver slammed on the brakes and opened the doors, as the lady rained blows on the side wall of the public transportation. The driver’s breath caught in his throat as the lady thrust me onto the bus. “Is this the 10?”
I asked as the lady dashed away to assist someone else. “Uh huh,” said the driver as I gained my balance.

Never ask a bus driver a yes/no question.

Lets take a glimpse into the past. I can remember me and Georgeo traveling back and forth to the NFB office and Dialog in the Dark when mobility was new to us and the Cumberland Transfer Center was filled with buses and the drop point for a blind person just getting started with cane travel was scary at best. Often times on those cold winter days and hot summers we would be at one end of the center and the para transit bus was at the other, though we were within a short distance from each other, often times a call to dispatch was needed to inform them where we were located. Some of those days we were put down as a no show or we were late because of not having a designated stop for persons with a disability

I know you clicked on this while scratching your head and wondering … “What in the world is “ The Hotness.”” Well this is where we share anything that seems to work good for you. I mean anything. If you have done something as a blind person and it worked then share it with others right here …right now. Lets innovate blindness together.
