Access to Public Transport- 3.3

 Disabled people find it very hard to get around in public transport. The bus steps are so high to get 
 on to, even with some one to help. When the disabled person rings up a taxi and the taxi driver is 
 told that the person is disabled, taxis do not come at all because they do know that they have to fold  
 up the wheelchair.

 In public transport people will not get up and give the disabled person a seat at all, they just laugh 
 at the disabled person.

 There are a lot of Australians that don’t know what it is like to be in wheel chair and to be on a 
 walking stick when the disabled person is waiting at the light to cross the road. They just sit in their 
 cars and laugh at the disabled person.
