I didn't talk about difficulty, and I'm not saying that this design doesn't make for discriminatory barriers.

Still, there's a degree of reasonability required. Even in aviation, there are cases in which an aircraft cannot accommodate a person's mobility issue. In this case, instead an airline is expected to book an alternative flight at another time which can, whether it's their own airline or another carrier. Similarly, a slower BC Ferries ferry to Nanaimo with an accessible bus connection may be considered a suitable alternative, if the Hullo crafts "high speed craft" are unsuitable to accommodate.
