I appreciate the video. I was recently paralyzed, and I'm looking for a van that i can also drive. You answered a lot of questions i had about driving, and some i didn't even know to ask. This type of stuff is so expensive though.
One thing I hate about being in a wheelchair and taking via…. Actually 2 things. One. I was going down to Kingston from Woodstock and I had a connection in Toronto. The train was really late getting into Woodstock so they just decided to clean the train then take that to Kingston and wherever else. They gave people the option of getting off the train or staying in their seat and I told them I wanted to get off it should’ve been simple. But the lady was annoyed by the option I picked and was trying to get me to stay on. Obviously I said no because why would they question the option you gave the passengers? So I got off and when someone else came to get me to help me with the lift and stuff I told the guy what happened and he didn’t seem to care. Another thing is the cars they use. Some are an inch too narrow for my wheelchair and most of the time they just try to get me on another train where that wouldn’t be a problem. I know they’re just trying to help but seriously. I want to take the train I told them not the train they want me to take because it’s too narrow. I booked a trip for September to go to Ottawa and was surprised when the lady told me they will have an aisle chair for me for the train from Toronto to Ottawa and prows to Toronto. That is really great service and accommodation
I'm not in a wheelchair or nothing but this is amazing what you can do with a vehicle like this. Hopefully since this was 10 years ago the voice recognition software is better. Not holding my breath though.. Looking at you Google Assistant.
I have now found a way to get hold of a car, I hope it works and for those who doubt that you can drive a car try it, if you don't try you don't know if it will work.
Just horrible. Hand cranked lifts and being strapped down and unable to move around while other passengers can walk around the train car is demeaning. There is no reason a permanent ramp can be installed that the train pulls up next to. This is why I just drive everywhere.
That vehicle is 100 grand plus it has to be 'a ordinary Mercedes sprinter disabled vehicle is 75 grand thousand by the way 'I don't know anyone with a vehicle like this one
Amazing what they can do 'it's like magic 'telling your car to select reverse and all the other mechaisms 'it's truly astonishing how in hell do they do it 'really really smart people in electronics
I’m Ben 20 years old and I’m in wheelchair and I have used one if there’s lift on a train and I could feel the lift moving and you may think I’m mad but I liked the feel of me going up and down on this lift
