Priority seating and wheelchair spaces

All buses have clearly marked priority seats for anyone who needs them. If one isn't available, please ask if someone will give up a seat. If you are using a priority seat and you don't need it, please be ready to offer it to someone who does.

Every bus has a designated wheelchair spaces, which you can find by looking for the wheelchair symbol on the outside of the carriage or using the level access boarding point.

All wheelchair spaces are at least large enough for a 'reference' wheelchair of 700mm x 1200mm.

Low-floor access

Whilst in most places there is a step or a gap onto buses, most buses are able to kneel to reduce the step-up. Drivers are expected to pull in close to the kerb where there is one in situ. If you need low-floor access and the driver has not already knelt the vehicle, please ask if he can do so.
