Abstract

This chapter considers modifications which can be made to the interior of a bus to help the elderly and mobility-handicapped. Aspects considered include sloping floors, priority seats, gangways, seat spacing, horizontal handrails, bellpushes, vertical handrails and stanchions, bus stopping signs and audible announcements. Many of the features described are to be retrofitted to 3000 London buses quite cheaply. Consideration is given to access to conventional buses for people in wheelchairs. Methods of restraining wheelchairs in buses in London and in Germany are discussed.
