AL Paratransit Riders Settle With Bus Company
BIRMINGHAM, AL, DEC. 19, 2003 -- Over 1,000 riders with disabilities who use the Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority will benefit from the settlement of a class-action lawsuit.
The suit was filed two years ago by 12 residents that rely on the paratransit service, claiming that they had to wait hours for rides or ride in buses with broken wheelchair lifts.
