90% of people with disabilities feel they do not have enough access to public transport - survey

One in four respondents said that access to transport ‘always’ limits their independence.

90% of people with disabilities feel they do not have enough access to public transport, a survey has found.

Many report being stranded on platforms by broken lifts, unable to access a ramp to board trains, waiting hours for accessible taxis and being left at bus stops because a buggy is in the spot designated for a wheelchair.
