Canada’s Transport Agency announced today that persons with disability who require an attendant no longer need to pay for two seats.
The government has imposed a “one-person, one-fare” policy that the airlines have to honour, meaning that the attendant travel free. It will be a while before everything is ironed out but it is a step in the right direction.
Our bus and train transportation has had the policy in place for many years, so it is good to have the airlines on board (so to speak).
The ruling applies for domestic travel only.
