 Text:
    DALLAS - Protesters in about 40 cities, including Memphis, demonstrated Friday against Greyhound Lines Inc., saying the company doesn't have enough wheelchair lifts.
 
    ADAPT, an advocacy group for the disabled, said it was staging the protests because the company is replacing its entire fleet with buses that are inaccessible for handicapped riders.
 
    Though Greyhound does offer wheelchair lifts on some buses, their use is sporadic. One wheelchair lift-equipped bus operates in California, and the lifts were used twice in 14 months, according to the company.
