Cerebral Palsy Association questions Translink’s commitment to people with disabilities
Vancouver, BC, Oct. 16, 2012 – There are renewed calls for Translink to ensure its services are available to people of all abilities after local media reported that a Surrey teenager with cerebral palsy had been repeatedly left behind by bus drivers.
