Easy access on buses

Journeys run with low floor buses have no
steps at the entrance, making getting on
and off easier. Where shown, low floor
buses have a ramp for access and a dedicated
space for wheelchairs and pushchairs inside the
bus. The bus operator will always try to provide
easy access services where these services are
scheduled to run.
