um appologies if this does not make sense but im just wondering if there is some sort of Identification you can use on the trolley that states you paid for a month to use the trolley. im 17 and I usualy don’t travel on public transportation unless im on mobility lessons however I have noticed that some people just flash some sort of I.D. i could be wrong since im visual impaired and I cant really notice certain things from far away.
But would i be able to get some sort of identification that states i have a disability when I use the public transportation system in sandiego? if so is there some where to go to get it?


Disability discrimination..by the public.?

I have a disability and live in chronic pain. I am so frustrated by how those of us with ‘unseen’ problems are treated.

Most disabilities are NOT obvious. It seems people expect them to be; be in a wheelchair, or one’s mobility so impared it’s obvious; then they ‘approve’. How arrogant! I have only so much activity I can tolerate a day, so I have to conserve this.

A person’s medical condition is b/n them and their Dr. I get dirty looks when I park in the handicap space, and ugly comments. ‘It doesn’t look like anything’s wrong with you!’,or ‘You don’t look handicapped to me’.

I couldn’t walk a year ago. After intense treatment, I get about with strict limitations.Though I still live in chronic pain, it’s worse when walking. I didn’t care about my apprearance and was very depressed.
I finally improved on this, and appear ‘normal’.I guess I should appear on death’s door to qualifty to park here. (I use my hc tag)
All due respect, most in w.c.’s aren’t in pain, so curb access
Sorry, rest of this question is under psychology category.
Basically, why are people so judgemental, and how to handle it?


Many elderly people have disabilities which limit their mobility. Do buses, shops and public buildings in?

your county provide easy access for the disabled or are your towns and cities designed mainly for the young and able-bodied? Why is this?
