Sit-in Opens Route for Disabled Rider on New Bus
Denise McQuade, 33, a polio survivor from Brooklyn, blocked a New York M104 bus for nearly seven hours to force TA approval of wheelchair loading on new buses. She hadn’t ridden since age three and demanded lifts as part of a broader protest of delayed wheelchair-accessible upgrades and wage talks with drivers. The supervisor finally used the lift, enabling her first ride in 30 years while passengers cheered.
