I
am the Disability Co-ordinator at a bus company in London that is contracted
under TFL. I am returning to work after 3 years off on sick and then covid
leave.
I
am asking for peoples experiences of bus travel in London please to gather some
up-to-date expert by experience data to use when running my driver training
sessions.
Please
can you ask you members to contact me their negative bus journey experiences:
a
- what went wrong,
b
- how it made you feel,
c
- what you would have liked the driver to do to help you.
At
a later date I may be looking into running Facebook live events where disabled
people can interact with our drivers directly to tell them their experiences
and so I can tell disabled people what drivers are allowed to do to help and
what options are available to help them help themselves a little more.
All the best
Jean Eveleigh
Disability Co-ordinator
