Wheelchairs or pushchairs: Who should take priority?

I remember when this case started out actually. He's come a long way.

I've seen some women with buggies just stare blankly at wheelchair users who get on the bus and then just turn back to their mobiles without making any effort to move.

And, sadly, it's usually the wheelchair user who's far too polite to actually ask them if they can move. Mind you, I've also seen the driver refuse to take the buggy on, despite the buggy user (on the bus or wanting to board) saying they'll fold it up.

How sad that this is even an issue. Of course a wheelchair user should have priority. How can any able bodied person even think of refusing? What on earth have we come to when young parents would think they are in more need than a wheelchair bound person.

Anyone who refuses to fold their buggy when a wheelchair needs the space should be told to leave the bus, but really, what kind of people must they be?
