[nfbcs] Is The Greyhound Site Accessible

[Gregory Kearney]

I was able to do it using VoiceOver on a Mac with one exception, there seems to be no way to select the number of persons traveling on the reservation.

My sample trip was from Chicago to Kansas City leaving on Nov 1, 2015.

the mobile site would neither permit me to select the date or change the number of passengers and so is not accessible.

So given this I would say that neither of these sites are accessible to screen reader users. and charging a fee to access the alternative method is in effect a charge placed only on the disabled.
