Buses and Coaches!

 Disabled Access?

We tend to think and lump together the disabled to specialist vehicles, rather than the ordinary fleets that serve towns and cities across the U.K., because of lack of investment!

Most vehicles are designed for the able bodied and they are up to day with technology and comfort, but they are limited to wheelchair access and other to deal or share with those who are disabled?

We want and claim from time to time that we live in an equal society, but that is not true if you are in a wheelchair or struggle to walk or move in a able way!

The lack of investment is common in all forms of transport and yet crossing into Europe it is a different attitude, with provision being made for all on a equal basis and an ever improving set of vehicles and fleets of all type of transport!

Access for the Disabled?

Never mentioned in political Manifestos?

Even within the European Union and many other nations around the globe, governments continue to drag their feet in relation to implementing laws that would force public transport and buildings such as places of worship to make provision for wheelchair access, better lighting and physical help when needed?

Cost is perhaps one aspect of failing to do this, yet many in office and management have no problems receiving astronomical hikes in their annual wage packets along with many other lucrative perks?

Despite much protest in the U.K over the years, some famous politicians have been in the habit to block bills that come forward in relation to this access and one believes that big business should take the lead and bring to shame the lies of many of our two-faced politicians! 

Because it is looking like if one is disabled, short-sighted, blind we are being left behind like a sub-human species?
