What the petition asks

Were asking that we catch up with mainland europe when it comes to disability access especially on transport such as buses who currently only allow one wheelchair and a pram.

Disabled people travel together and to expect them to catch separate buses so they can go out together is disgraceful!
Its time we caught up with mainland europes public transport giving a minimum of 2 priority wheelchair spaces on each bus and a space for 1 or 2 prams.

Wheelchair users find it hard to use public transport but if your a wheelchair user with another friend whos a wheelchair user you find it impossible to go out together as you have to take separate buses some which could be an hour apart.

Its time the companies providing the service were made to make this a requirement making it fairer for all
