A new mobility aid card has been introduced to remove uncertainty over which mobility aids are permitted on buses.
Passengers who use wheelchairs, mobility scooters or other mobility aids can now apply for The Mobility Aid Recognition card, launched by Transport for London.
It aims to remove doubt for both the holder and the bus driver on whether a mobility aid is permitted on the London bus network, giving passengers more freedom and confidence to travel around the capital.
With around 86 models of mobility scooters already approved, TfL hopes the new scheme will offer users peace of mind and enable them to travel more freely on the bus network.
Mainly for passengers who use mobility scooters, the scheme may also be used by people with manual and powered wheelchairs, mobility walkers or shopping trolleys, where these are used as a mobility aid.
Travellers wishing to take part in the scheme should contact TfL’s Travel Mentoring Service on 020 3054 3461 or e-mail travelmentor@tfl.gov.uk.
