I AM writing in regard to the integrated accessible public transport system which will evidently operate with the help of network maps.
It is not maps that we need. It is low-floor accessible buses that everybody can travel on.
Four or five years ago, if you were travelling with babies and children, or if you were elderly, you could board a bus with ease and comfort. Whatever happened to the Timeline buses? Why do bus operators have to make life more difficult for people?
It is almost 2002 and we still do not have a decent, integrated accessible bus service. I suggest that transport representative Councillor Winston Ramsey, and the GMPTE, have a wander around Bury bus station as it would be a trip filled with nostalgia. With all those decrepit buses it is like the "Antiques Roadshow"!
In all seriousness, will we ever achieve a service that is acceptable to all . . . disabled passengers, parents with small children and elderly people? There should be equality for all.
