ALTERNATIVE TO FLYING OR DRIVING?
Leah Zelaya’s mom, Bevi Zelaya, says that, as a caregiver, it is stressful to worry about wheelchair damage or loss during a flight.
“You can’t stay in your wheelchair on a plane, and it will be ages before you can,” Leah adds.
“On the train, you
have that independence.”
Train travel is a viable option for people with disabilities who are tired of having their wheelchair mishandled in an airline industry known for treating mobility devices poorly.
In 2024, a
single air carrier was fined $50 million for its treatment of passengers
with disabilities and their mobility equipment.
