There may be a line that is crossed somewhere on the ADA issue.       
Special platforms were built at stops for wheelchairs;  portable ramp 
from TrolleyCar to platform is set in place manually by the operator on 
PCCs.       Don't know requirements about older equipment.       I may 
have heard but don't remember.       Activists have considerable 
influence in SF as most seem to know.
