He does.  And as one of the induhviduals conscripted to steer the Neon as it
was winched up on the ramps, I do have a suggestion.  Put a grab bar on the
side of the bus to assist you as you climb out the car window.

Pat's ramps run essentially straight up into the bus and they remain
inclined inside so the car goes up over the bus wheel housings.  Remember
that school busses have dual wheels and the space between the wheel housings
is too narrow for a car.  This method also eliminates problems with
breakover height on the car.

The bi-fold on the one side of the "emergency door" is quite ingenious.
