John Tschida’s essay this month on accessible transportation details the unreliable and frustrating experience of trying to use public transportation as a wheelchair user. He especially decries the particular challenge of getting to or from an airport, which has become significantly harder after the rise of rideshare services like Uber and LYFT.

Once at the airport, new and more hellish challenges begin. Although the video below was shared by Vice Magazine back in 2019, nothing has changed for the better since, although airlines keep publishing news of onboard wheelchair seating that’s “coming soon.”

Have any Access Press readers who use wheelchairs or other mobility equipment not experienced the indignities and damages depicted here when flying? The video includes both outrageous experiences and important background information about why the ADA hasn’t applied to airline travel.
