The plaintiff, an elderly passenger using a walker, brought a negligence action against the transit commission and its bus driver after she fell while exiting a bus.
She alleged the driver breached the standard of care by failing to deploy a ramp or move the bus closer to the curb.
The court reviewed video evidence and testimony, finding that the driver had stopped a normal distance from the curb and kneeled the bus according to standard practice.
The court concluded the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case of negligence, and the action was dismissed.
