Full accessibility ensures that public transportation accommodates people with disabilities by providing necessary facilities and services. Proponents argue that it ensures equal access, promotes independence for people with disabilities, and complies with disability rights. Opponents argue that it can be costly to implement and maintain and may require significant modifications to existing systems.

No, the cost of adapting every bus and train to suit a tiny minority seems to outweigh the benefits when a subsidising an on-demand, Uber-like service could be done instead
@9T8LC3Y3mos3MO
I'm leaning towards irrelevant questioning but I believe public transportation is inclusive enough to people with disabilities
@9RMYM3X4mos4MO
No because private companies will do it anyway as there is a profit incentive and it will speed up the boarding process for disabled travellers
@9QNVR835mos5MO
Yes but only where the building/terrain allows it. Listed buildings etc should be exempt from ugly additions and find other methods of being disabled - friendly such as ramps and more facilities on the ground floor
@9QFZGVM5mos5MO
In an ideal world yes, however many UK transport systems are dated and the money is better spent on new infrastructure
@9QCRB8Y5mos5MO
yes, within reason though. some councils have spent money for only a couple of users. Must undertake studies to determing use
@9Q7XG4H5mos5MO
Yes, of course. It's a no-brainer! Access to public transport for people with disabilities in this country is dire and they don't all have access to their own transport (eg: Motability adapted vehicles).
@9PYM9295mos5MO
Only where it is possible to improve existing infrastructure. All new infrastructure should be implemented with this in mind.
