Change the standards for disabled travelling on all public transport.

What the petition asks

At the moment most companies comply with the set standards for disabled travellers. But this isn't enough, one wheelchair space per bus or train often leaves disabled people waiting at station because the designated spot is full. There need to be more than one space. The bare minimum isn't enough.
My brother is in a wheelchair he has often been left waiting for up to an hour because the space he needed was full. Also other people are left behind be he is in the space etc.
