The European Parliament and the European Council in directive 2001/85 EC of 20 November 2001 decided to reach out the necessity of disabled people using wheelchairs. Solutions that have been proposed are equitable but they exact from constructors to invent new technical devices. In this report have been assessed law regulations relating to provide structural requirements facilitating disabled people using wheelchairs to get in as well as to get out of the bus. Particularly we have assessed mentioned problem taking into consideration new-produced small busses, in which the floor is situated relatively high up off the road. The restrictions relating to comply the law recommendations being in force have been criticized. We shall among others permanently updating our national legislation in order to adapt it to requirements enclosed in appropriate directives issued by EU authorities. The life of disabled people in society is full of problems with locomotion. We have proposed the new structural solution supporting disabled people to get in and to get out of the bus. The functional tests have been made on physically prepared mechanism and positive results have been achieved. The bus with a new solution has a big chance to receive a type approval certificate as well as to be accustomed into mass production.

From economical point of view for transport operators as well as for bus owners such solutions are unfavourable.
