New Onboard Announcements to Make Britain’s Buses Accessible for Everyone.
The article discusses the UK government's efforts to improve accessibility on buses by requiring bus operators to make a series of announcements onboard to help people with disabilities, including those with visual or hearing impairments, to navigate their journeys more easily. These announcements include information on the bus's next stop, final destination, and any changes to the route or schedule. The new rules are expected to benefit millions of passengers and will be phased in gradually over the next two years. The government hopes that the move will encourage more people to use public transport and make travel more inclusive.
