Have you ever received discrimination or abuse while on TFL buses?

Hi,
Everyone I'm new to this forum and I want to open a form of discussion. I'm going to link my blog post about what happened to me but I'll write a quick run down on here, I was verbally abused by a TFL bus driver, he was discriminated against me because of my disability/ wheelchair. I rung TFL to make a complaint but only received excuses and a half hearted apology. So I contacted a lot of disability charities who directed me to informing the police, which is now being looked into and hopefully getting the driver to be reprimanded.
if you could please help me with my campaign into getting into disability rights I'd really appreciate it.
