Though cars are popular in America, San Diego has the worst public transportation in the world, San Diegoese said. but even though, San Diego’s public transit has its own special characteristics.
For instance, the buses there are all kneeling buses, that means they all have the function of being very convenient to the handicapped. In China, it is very hard for disabled people to get on the buses, but USA buses have a special lift offering great convenient to people on wheelchairs. That is just like someone want to get on the back of a camel or horse, if the camel kneel down, it is very easy for us to ride on the back of them.
What’s more, different from buses in China, passengers are allowed to get down the bus at San Diego anywhere they want, if they follow the following instruction, I copied some of them from bus 41.
-------Pull cord to signal driver to stop
Sure that American buses have something similar to those in China, they pay special attention to elderly and disabled passengers.
-------Please offer these seat to elderly and disabled passengers.
-------Attention. The front bus seats are reserved for senior citizens and passengers who have a disability.
and give warning to passengers what should not to do
-------Passengers are mot permitted to stand forward of the yellow line while bus is in motion.
-------Information gladly given, but safty prohibits talking to driver while while bus is moving.
-------Keep all body parts out of window opening.
