I congratulate the Minister of State on the work to date. It is good to see disabled access being improved on so many buses. Many disabled young students travel to school and college on private and public buses. What is the position in this regard? I am unsure as to whether any such buses are wheelchair accessible. Is there an onus to provide access? There should be, as those students are entitled to access just like everyone else. Are there plans to improve private buses that service primary and secondary schools? In many cases, they are 15 or 20 years old and are not accessible.
