And, yes, people really can appear to be fairly young and in a certain kind of corn-fed rude health, and still have trouble standing up on a moving bus.
I want you to lead up The Loyal Opposition's "we need the bus, too" campaign.
One of the inciting causes for my powerchair was bus shenanigans with my rolling walker (which the drivers complained about using the lift for). On our buses there simply isn't a place to park a walker, and so one's expected to clutch it one's bosom for the whole ride.
In addition to truly comfortable seating, and able to force people out of the accessible seats, and lugging >50# of stuff on a bag hanging off the back, the front casters can provide an excellent behavior modification device when needed.
