Hide AdStagecoach Yorkshire, which runs services in Rotherham, said it was demonstrating its commitment to making bus services accessible to all by supporting the Confederation of Passenger Transport’s (CPT) Journey Assistance Cards initiative.
The cards, which are now available through Stagecoach, can be presented to the driver to indicate a need for specific assistance.
They are designed to support bus passengers who are deaf, hard of hearing or visually impaired.
