"I fully support Mr Cancian’s report on passenger rights in bus and coach transport. Despite ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, these people still face discrimination on access to transport.
Equal access to transport is one of the fundamental preconditions for an independent life. In view of the fact that most journeys are undertaken at the local level, access to bus transport is of fundamental importance for people with disabilities, including blind and partially-sighted people.
I fully agree with the proposed changes and additions, which strengthen the rights of people with physical disabilities, and specifically, the right to transport, the right to assistance and the right to information in accessible forms, including Braille lettering and large print.
I particularly welcome the requirement for drivers and people working in terminuses to be given training in relation to physical disabilities.
Securing these rights will make a fundamental difference to the lives of our blind and partially sighted fellow citizens."@en1
