In contexts where accessibility requirements impose that all public transport vehicles are accessible and public transport frequencies are high, a move to longer wait times for accessible ride service vehicles will represent a retrograde step. This would include both disability awareness training and job specific practical training in areas such as guiding a blind person, assisting a wheelchair user, understanding and supporting a person with dementia. These are the principles that guided the development of MBTA's RIDE pilot. Provided that vehicles were suitable and drivers were trained, they would mostly adapt without difficulty.
