Bus company apologises over kicking blind man and dog off-twice

The bus company whose driver tried to kick a blind man and his guidedog off a bus has apologised - and is promising better training for its staff. George Taggart tried to get on a Wellington Metlink bus outside the blind foundation in Adelaide road yesterday with a group of blind friends - who all had white canes.. and George had Guss... his poddle guidedog. Guss was wearing a harness and guide dog tags and George was carrying photo I-D that identifies him as sight impaired and Guss as his assistance dog - who he describes as his best friend. George explains what happened next.
