English term or phrase: kneeler

Access to buses

Buses provide most of the public transit trips taken around the world. Access for wheelchair users are often provided using lifts or ramps. For example, Mexico City recently introduced locally made lift-equipped buses and trolley buses on major routes (see above left, noting also the retractable low first step in the front entrance). Some manufacturers specialize in making high-quality lifts, which are available for use on locally made buses around the world. Buses can also have a kneeler feature, which allows the driver to lower the front (or other) entrance to reduce the height of the first step above the surface of the bus stop
