Public transport

Public Transport is essential for work, education, and medical support, yet bus services are shrinking, plans to upgrade the accessibility of stations are being put on pause and station ticket offices that support Disabled people with journey planning and ticketing are under threat.

Those digitally excluded currently face barriers to obtaining the best deals and planning journeys. For up to 40% of older Disabled people, Smart Phones and ATMs are not accessible or available.

The level of train cancelations and timetable changes are causing real difficulties for Disabled people requiring passenger assistance.

An inclusive transport policy system must be co-produced with Disabled people which challenges and rectifies the many access barriers that Disabled people face and provides support when things go wrong.
