The main problem is there's no one building double deck transit buses. Theres only a couple of double deck over the road coach's.Nothing that couldn't be worked out I would think. I like the idea.

Biggest roadblock might be the water bridges. They probably couldn't get to MK.I meant things like overpasses and tunnels. Pretty sure the park and resort gates are plenty high enough.
They're called articulated buses. I believe there are a dozen in the fleet.They have added some of those extra long buses. But I'm not sure how much they use them. I was on one once, and it was a little strange.

@joelkfla did point out a big stumbling block... the water bridge en route to MK/CR. I looked on Google Earth and I think that's only a 10' clearance.So do I! Does anyone remember when they used to have the double-decker buses in Epcot World Showcase? I think it was in the late 80's. I agree, I think it could be worked out.
Oh that’s nothing. What kills me as a scooter user is the people who will sit there and stare at you until you have to tell them, “If you don’t want to be hit you need to move.” All the time.
I've looked at people and said, "I'm pretty experienced at this, but if I were you, I'd pull in my feet. But it is up to you." And I start driving.
Is there something wrong with just saying "Excuse me"? I get tired of saying it, too, even without a scooter. But I do appreciate it when someone else is polite enough to actually say it to me.
Oh not at all, when the person doesn’t know they’re doing something wrong. When someone has been told to move once already and doesn’t, no I don’t feel bad for not treating them like a 2-year old. My experience is kids get it, it’s the adults who don’t.
Well, as I said before this post. I normally ask politely a couple of times first. But so many people won't even look up from their phones.Is there something wrong with just saying "Excuse me"?

Once people ignore me a couple of times, well, I'm not as nice anymore.
I had a guy almost fall over me, all the while me yelling, "look up, look up, look up." His friends were rolling with laughter. It was crowded enough that I couldn't get out of the way. So I just stopped.As I told Sarahraegraham, I missed the part where you both had asked previously. Frankly, I ask nicely once, then I become a bit less polite.
And don't get me started on cell phones. I've stopped moving out of people's way if they're looking down as they walk. When they plow into me, at least I'm prepared for it! It's always fun when they get mad at me because they walked into me. Sorry! (not sorry).
You are 100% correct, so to be fair to all and treat everyone equally, do away with the priority board first process, and everyone gets in line first come/first serve. That way everyone is being treated equally. But IMHO that doesn't make much sense, though it would be equal treatment.
I'm not trying to kick the hornets nest, that's already been done in previous threads. But, I think what the OP was trying to say, and makes some sense is that those needing accommodations can pre-board with one other person, the rest of the party waits in line with the rest of the crowd. If they get on the bus that's wonderful, if not then they would need to wait. The person needing the accommodation would be assisted, no discrimination in my eyes.

I agree. The whole point is to treat everyone equally, as much as possible given that they do need to load the ECVs first. I don't think people really have a problem with the fact that it's safer for everyone if the ECV loads and is tied down before filling the bus with other guests. But if you think about it, if no one in the travel party was in need of a mobility device, they would enter the end of the queue as it stands when they arrive and wait however long they had to in order to board a bus - not cutting the line. It's one of those things I am torn about, because while I don't really want to split up a party, it does get frustrating when I'm the fifth person in line for a bus and two ECVs and their large parties show up much later and I don't even get to board the bus when it arrives. That happened to me twice at DHS this year. There were so many people traveling with the ECVs that they completely filled the bus, and there were a lot of us in line who had been waiting much longer. I just wish they could come up with a way to really make it more equal for all. I think that's all anyone is really looking for.
He's way more.It is impossible for ECVs and their parties to totally fill a bus, unless they were each traveling with 25 people or more.
