I just thought of another solution. Make a tote bag that she can put an
adult diaper in and make it into a seat cushion. It is zippered. One
side of the tote bag has a appropiately sized panel of waterproof mesh to
allow urine to pass through easily and the rest of the tote bag is
plasticized to contain the wet diaper and any excess urine. Carry the tote
bag by the handle and she carries everything, including any excess urine,
out of the bus without embarrassment or anyone not in the know realise what
just happened. She can dispose of the diaper in a toilet facility, clean
up and replace with a fresh diaper. The bus operator should still carry a
supply of free diapers to accommodate this lady's disability as she will
need one when she reboards the bus. It is a very cheap and practical
solution the bus operator should be proud of as a sympathetic company in
accommodating people with disabilities.
