28/10/2021 - Vanessa Papastavros - Accessibility, the Turning Point for Public Transport
We all have places to go, people to see and appointments to keep. For many Australians, catching a bus, ferry, train or tram is what allows us to get from point A to B in our busy schedules. For some people with disabilities who are unable to drive their own car, public transport may be the only way they can get around their city, or travel into regional areas. For others, it may simply be the most convenient transport choice. Just like anyone else, public transport enables people with disability to fully participate in community life by getting them where they want to go.
