Allow double strollers back on the bus for the safety of our toddlers
Sign Now
We the undersigned ask that Guelph Transit reviews and changes their rule to not allow double strollers on the bus.
This rule has caused urgent safety concerns to all toddlers who are not old enough to not be strapped down in a
stroller. It is very difficult to explain to a toddler why you must stay seated on a bus. It is impossible to hold a toddler down on a seat while standing up and holding on to a stroller.
This has also affected members of the public who rely solely on the bus system to get themselves and their children anywhere including the doctors and grocery shopping.
Parents who have multiple young children close together in age NEED to be able to use public transportation. Members of the public who have twins should also be able to access public transit.
Show us that the safety of Guelph's youngest citizens is important to Guelph Transit.

Thats silly, a double stroller takes up as much space as a single stroller, also takes up as much space as a WHEELCHAIR...are they going to stop allowing people in wheelchairs to come on the bus next ?!?!?!?
