| Annotation | Improvements in the accessibility of public transport have been mostly brought about by requirements following the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA). Since 1999, service providers, including those who run airports, ports, and railway and bus stations, have had to make "reasonable adjustments" to make them accessible. This guide explains what the wheelchair user can expect from newer trains, trams, coaches, buses and taxis. It includes information on where accessible services are running, and gives tips on travelling with a wheelchair. It includes a table of the dimensions of the wheelchairs available, and which of them will fit onto public transport. (RH). |
