The Washington couple denied access to the bus are friends of mine. They 
were able to get media coverage because they posted about their experience 
on Facebook and a friend of the couple said to them that his friend was 
interested in speaking to them and reporting on the issue. They spoke with 
the reporter and it went viral.
