[This is from the BLIND-L mailing list]

I am looking for some information from someone in Canada.   It has
been many, many, many years since I traveled there on public
transportation.   I wonder what are the rules for a blind person
and a guide on public transportation?  Can a blind person and guide
go for one fare on the intercity bus?  How about the train?  I
assume surely not by plane.

If there are any such privileges remaining, are they available for
U. S.  visitors.

The request will probably not be of general interest to the list, so you
may send mail via bitnet to me personally.

[Note from Bill McGarry: I'll make sure that any replies in ABLED
 on Fidonet will get forwarded to Professor Coombs.]
