Ailing Detroit bus system has new woe

This article on the U.S. Department of Transportation\'s announcement of a major review of DDOT\'s compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act quoted Birmingham attorney Richard Bernstein, who filed a lawsuit against DDOT, after numerous complaints about broken wheelchair lifts on a number of city buses that left many wheelchair users stranded awaiting properly equipped coaches. The lawsuit seeks no money, and Bernstein said he isn\'t charging any legal fees. \"All we want is to get these fixed.\" Bernstein is also a member of Wayne State\'s Board of Governors.
