I would like a clarification. It has been mentioned that new contracts will be awarded. In the future will it be compulsory for all buses to be wheelchair accessible? Is there a commencement date for this? Let us say a bus company is awarded a public contract but its buses are not wheelchair accessible. When will the situation change for the company? If the company applies for a new contract will it be turned down on the basis that its buses are not wheelchair accessible?
