• holding that several plaintiffs who rode the Wichita bus system once could have standing
• concluding that an intent “to test Wichita Transit’s fixed-route services several times per year” was sufficient to demonstrate that they were “under a real and immediate threat” of experiencing a lift malfunction
• recognizing mootness if “it is absolutely clear the allegedly wrongful behavior could not reasonably be expected to recur.” (citation omitted)
• stating that when a plaintiff seeks prospective relief, he or she “must be suffering a continuing injury or be under a real and immediate threat of being injured in the future”
• stating that most appellants submitted affidavits detailing their individual experiences with Wichita Transit
• finding that tester plaintiff had sufficiently alleged standing to obtain prospective relief where he averred an intent to use the defendant city’s fixed-route bus services several times per year and thus faced real and immediate threat of future injury
