In 1999, Aaron Baker was in an accident that left him with a spinal cord injury. In this second video in our series about getting around in a wheelchair in different metropolitan areas, Aaron explores the public transportation scene using a wheelchair in San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Aaron begins at the San Jose airport before boarding a shuttle to the nearest Caltrain station. From there he gets on a north-bound train to the end of the line: San Francisco! Aaron takes historic streetcars, buses and the BART to get around, stopping at the Ferry Terminal, the Wharf and grabs a view of the Golden Gate Bridge before heading to Berkeley. In the East Bay, Aaron visits the Center for Independent Living. Want to know more? Watch!
