Talking Buses Campaign

EDM number 506 in 2009-10, proposed by Norman Baker on 16/12/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Buses.

That this House, acknowledging the role of accessible local bus services in the mobility of disabled people, recognises that the lack of audio visual information systems on buses makes those services difficult to use for many people; supports the Talking Buses campaign led by Guide Dogs and supported by 20 other national organisations; and calls on the Government to amend the Public Service Vehicle Accessibility Regulations to require audible and visual information systems on all new buses, which would announce next stop and final destination information.

This motion has been signed by a total of 232 MPs.
