Should the government require public transportation systems to be fully accessible to people with disabilities?

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

Yes, there won’t always be a time when the car or van can’t work, I personally believe that the whole of the TFL should be accessible.

 @B6VCNVQanswered…10mos10MO

Retrospectively apply to Existing when it makes sense too on a individual basis, All new going forward should be accessible.

 @9QCRB8Yanswered…2yrs2Y

yes, within reason though. some councils have spent money for only a couple of users. Must undertake studies to determing use

 @9Q7XG4Hanswered…2yrs2Y

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).

 @9PWDD5L answered…2yrs2Y

It should be encouraged and implemented but as long as all services are accessible even with the assistance of employees but disabled people should be able to use transportation services without too much hindrance

 @DAVIE answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only where it is practically possible and isn't economically damaging.

 @9MWXF78 answered…2yrs2Y

That depends on the definition of disability. That can mean anything and everything.
