Ride A Bus Day

The MTA upgraded its bus fleet to be fully accessible, but this was a gradual process that took more than a decade. At first, only a few routes had buses with lifts. Advocates worried that disabled people wouldn’t ride the new accessible buses, which would undermine their fight for access. They organized “Ride A Bus Day” (and later, “Ride A Bus Week”) to publicize the new bus lifts and encourage people to use them.
