Public transport accessibility level review - BSL
London should be open to everyone, but new research from Transport for All revealed London's outdated planning system excludes the city's 1.2 million disabled people.
We have worked with disabled people who live and work in the city to create three measure that can be added to the system to begin including disabled people.

      Hope you all have a good trip. I hope everything goes well but expect some troubles. The legislation (ADA 1991) in the USA is much stronger there and lawsuits are regularly filed for violations/disability discrimination. Here in Canada, I am discriminated against regularly and we have very weak means to complain. Our Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario is a paper tiger. It is slow, weak and almost always sides with the abuser not the victim.

    I do feel sympathy for disabled passengers,but what the general public doesn't realise is that many timetables are worked out by management that don't know what they are doing. If the drivers run late, they are chastised by the very people who created the problem. I had a regular passenger who had mobility issues and took forever to get aboard. I inquired with my manager to find out if there was any other means to transport the lady because i was concerned about her safety, he said no. I then said what should i do if she was hurt trying to get aboard. He told me to call for an ambulance and carry on with the service. To say that i was gobsmacked is an understatement. !!!

    The best way to solve the issues as they lie now is to adopt the Equality Act 2010 as it is written at the relevant sections. This will speed up adaptation of stations much quicker, as these stations will be closed to all passengers. The law states that if a service is available to an able bodied person but not a disabled person, it must be modified so that it is accessible to all. While the service is not available to those in the protected characteristics list, it must also not be available to those who are not in the list. Hence the term Equality.

    It was correct he should NOT have been awarded money. Disabled people have rights and I can understand his frustration, but he had a video on UA-cam where the driver told him he had a bad back and he turned up to Edinburgh station, making arrangements with someone else who didn't pass any info to a station duty manager and talked to him so shockingly I'm glad service was denied. Abled or Disabled, for good passenger service you be nice! On buses, just because the driver drives the bus, doesn't mean anyone will listen and the driver probably will get abuse from these passengers who block the aisle so it's not easy enforcing the wheelchair space.

    I'm sure part of the problem is every teenager & her brother pushing the blue bell when there's no wheelchair on board. This then habituates the driver to ignoring it, since they constantly get misused. A driver might see a wheelchair user once or twice in a week, & be dismissing that alarm multiple times an hour.

    • @sandpiperr
      @sandpiperr 9 місяців тому

      In North America there isn't a special bell for wheelchair users. It's all the same button (or pull cord) to signal when someone on board wants to get off. So I maybe wonder if that would be better, because then there's no way to discriminate because you don't know who's getting off.

      @@sandpiperr In most parts of the country the busses are configured with only one entrance/exit up by the driver, making it impossible to miss a wheelchair user needing the ramp deployed. Exit halfway down the bus where the driver might not see the ramp needs to be deployed is mainly a London thing, possibly a few other cities.

    I feel like it may that nonhandicapped passengers push the disabled button becuase it's the closes to them even though they shouldn't. Just the other month, I was on the newer buses, and a lady was just leaning on the button, and it kept going off!

    • @sandpiperr
      @sandpiperr 9 місяців тому

      Honestly, that's why I think it should be like the buses in the UK and Canada. Where it's not a separate button for disabled people. There's just stop buttons or pull cords for anyone who wants to get off to signal a stop. That way there is no way to discriminate, or for the signal to be abused by people who aren't disabled. Of course, the ramp is also at the front, so the driver can't miss when someone in a wheelchair is getting off.

    Transport for All - it's 2022 and there is still no change in Bus Drivers' attitude towards disabled, old, pregnant, unwell e.g. suffers with chronic pain, incapacitated or anyone who requires accessible access, in fact, they're worse than before some drivers will pretend to lower the platform then watch you struggle to get on and off the bus. They're just narcissistic and cruel!! They enjoy watching passengers struggle to get on and off a bus. In spite of this narcissistic behaviour I have witnessed sone excellent bus drivers who are a credit to TfL but unfortunately they are only few.

How can it be if there's no quiet segregation? WHY are folk like ME never consulted, or even considered when these totally EXclusive and downright DISCRIMINATORY things are designed.

For the umpteen billionth time, disability is NOT all "white sticks and wheelchairs" for crying OUT LOUD! AND fair availability of public transport is NOT all about physical access, it's also about what happens to some severely disabled people once they're onboard, and we don't all live in london, the country doesn't end at watford. What about those seriously disabled like me who CANNOT work OR drive and cannot support a car and therefore NEED public transport but who are all too often EXcluded to the MAXIMUM because of totally THOUGHTLESS designs like all open trains with absolutely NO QUIET segregation which folk like me who suffer APPALLINGLY with far more severe misophonia NEED in quiet compartments, NOT all open from end to end. Why are people like me never even consulted or even considered when these totally discriminatory designs are dreamt up? It's right out of order.

      @@tooleyheadbang4239 Oh bloody hell yes! That arrogant sod deserves all he gets. I’ve seen most of his videos, but you can’t comment on any of them because he has: “comments are disabled for this video” (which is kind of ironic!) on all his videos! If I’d ever bumped into him before he’d become so notorious I would’ve helped him all I could, unless I was in a mad rush. He went to Hebden Bridge once on the train, about five years ago now I think, and a taxi was supposed to meet him at Mytholmroyd due to the fact the up platform at Hebden Bridge isn’t step-free, but it took ages to get there and find him. Why didn’t he just get a bus on the main road? Also, and better still, why didn’t he arrange to meet his “friends” at Mytholmroyd in the first place? They could then have gone on to Hebden Bridge together. When he returned why didn’t any of his so-called “friends” wait with him on Hebden Bridge station to make sure he got on the train home? Not the best sort of friends in my opinion! On another occasion Paulley went to Wrexham to speak at some disabled gathering or whatever, but was massively inconvenienced when the first train he got on in Leeds turned back at Stalybridge when it should’ve gone to Manchester Piccadilly. Now… I wonder why that was? Could it possibly have anything to do with the fact Paulley screwed £5K out of sister company FirstBus when a woman with a sleeping baby refused to move for him??? Hmm…! All these silly discrimination cases are ridiculous. They’re just a childish way of scoring so-called brownie points, but ultimately they’ll back fire because companies will fight back and cause situations to happen like when Paulley’s train terminated short of its destination. If Paulley, and others, wound their necks in and cut the attitude they’d do much better in my opinion. I don’t really know how they deal with all the stress, most of which is self-inflicted!

  • @nigelkthomas9501

    Why is Paulley moving his feet and legs if he’s disabled? I’ve heard a few rumours on this issue that would suggest he can walk a bit. Now I’m not saying I would never offer a disable person some assistance where reasonably possible, but I find his attitude to others (like the mother with a sleeping baby) seriously lacking in understanding and compassion. All his videos have “Comments are disable for this video” so no-one can comment on them. He’s obviously done this because he knows damn well he’ll get a lot of bad and negative comments. With regards to his trip to Hebden Bridge; why did he not simply: 1. Get a bus from Mytholmroyd to Hebden Bridge instead of waiting for a non-existent taxi? 2. Wouldn’t it have been better to meet with his friends at Mytholmroyd and go with them back to Hebden Bridge? They could then help him if needs be. 3. On returning to Leeds why did his so-called friends leave him on Hebden Bridge station in the dark? If he’d been there all night in the cold he’d have probably died from hypothermia! I could go on for hours about disability this and disability that, but at the end of the day Paulley needs to understand it’s just how life is. The world doesn’t revolve around him, and it’s not a question of discrimination.

    If this idiot in the wheelchair was a bus driver he would've done the same. The bus driver does not ignore the idiot, but it is because this job is so fucking repetitive that the disabled bell buzzer will not register in the bus drivers mind 70% of the time. The bus driver has to focus on the road and they do not think about your damned bell. Imagine having to repeatedly open the door, close the door and drive off; of course shit like this is bound to happen. Reporting the driver will not fix this you stupid man! I wish all bus drivers can resign so this asshole in the wheelchair can see how far he can go without bus drivers. All this sad man does with his life is get on buses and secretly records the bus driver just so he can report them, just have a look at his UA-cam channel- band3kfsh. What a creep! Why can't he do something good like give a comendation to drivers who let him on and get him to his destination? Noooo he wants to record and see bus drivers punished this is how sad his life is. Asshole!

    There is an LBC discussion about this subject dated 30th August 2018. Darren Adam presented it and some of the stories, well, if less able individuals (male and female) feel let down, so are the companies. Companies are no better.

    I am blocking hypnostream for being ugly towards people with disabilities. No use in trying to lie about it. Any driver who pulls such crap that is pro discriminatory on any of the transit systems here in the U.S. gets terminated.

      Could you give us your name and bus company you work with? This kind of attitude is surely not welcomed. The Red Book (the guide for bus drivers) is clear. You should ask buggy users to make space for wheelchair and mobility scooter users.

      You're quite wrong here, it's not first come first served. The UK law is clear. The wheelchair space is a wheelchair space and wheelchair users have priority to use that space. Since the Supreme Court Ruling of January 2017 it's also very clear that drivers must make a considerable effort to get the wheelchair space vacated when a wheelchair users needs it. It is no longer OK for a driver to shrug his/her shoulders at a wheelchair user and drive off without letting him/her board the bus.

      Transport for All whilst I do agree with you it’s not always possible to fold up. Most travel systems that are designed with small babies in mind either do not fold or do not fold easily. Also when you have 3+ children traveling with you and a baby it is near on impossible to hold the hands of those other children whilst holding onto a baby who cannot yet walk and fold down a buggy at the same time. Also the buggy that I have (bugaboo) cannot be folded down using only one hand which means I either have to ask a stranger to hold my baby while I fold it (something I’m definitely not happy with) or I have to leave her in the buggy whilst I travel. I also feel that she is safer in the buggy should the bus have an accident than she would be on my lap. If the bus crashed and I fell on top of her or accidentally let go of her then that could kill her. At least if she’s in the buggy she would have some protection around her. I don’t think mothers with buggies should be asked to leave the bus. I think there should be sufficient space for buggies and wheel chair users to travel together peacefully. We all want to get from a to b as quickly and safely as possible and one persons journey is no more or less important than another persons.

      If you are ever a wheelchair user (and you might be one day) let's see how quick you "get over it".

    I don't see the problem. Just ring the bell or say "Next stop, please!". When the bus stops, politely ask the driver to lower the ramp if he hasn't done so already.

      The wheelchair accessible spaces on buses often don’t allow direct interaction with the driver, and wheelchair users often cannot access the front of the bus (especially if it’s busy), meaning you have to shout along the length of the bus, and often you just get ignored. There’s a specific system in place, bus drivers are just choosing to ignore it and it’s discriminatory.

    • @band3kafsh

      You don't see the problem because you haven't thought about this deeply enough. We *do* "just ring the bell". That is the whole point. And just ringing the bell is all we should need to do. It gives the driver a clear loud distinctive siren, different from the ordinary bell, and a wheelchair-symbol light comes up on the dashboard. TWO sensory inputs. No excuse for ignoring them. But drivers ignore them, don't deploy the ramp, and take us on to the next stop. Under the PSVAR the driver is committing a criminal offence by not allowing us to leave the bus when we request to. It is a problem, it's happening every day to dozens of wheelchair users in London.

      @mistofoles, the problem that you cannot see is when the wheelchair person rings the bell, and has already told the drive he wants off and is still ignored, that becomes a problems to the person in the chair to get around if still stuck on the bus. The bus does not have built in ramps and the chair is strapped in, so the person in the chair cannot just roll off the bus. And if the person in the chair is not being helped, something is wrong with the driver. One day, that driver will be in the same position, in a chair wanting off and being ignored. Not good customer service and needs to be trained for this.
