A disabled Hamilton boy is getting back on the bus after being abruptly stranded by operator GoBus.
Trevor Hills says he was left blindsided by the company last week after being told it would not longer be able to take his son, Justin, to school at Fraser High.
GoBus had carried out an audit of its fleet and discovered Justin's wheelchair was outside the recommended weight limit.
Justin, 14, is the only person in New Zealand to suffer from the rare, inherited, congenital neuromuscular disorder called nemaline rod myopathy.
It means he has little if any muscular strength in his body - along with the inability to swallow and breathe without assistance - and is completely reliant on his parents for everyday tasks. He also requires an electric wheelchair for mobility.
