Aside from public transport companies dealing with people with disabilities who are accessing the services, I am curious as to the situation of people with disabilities who work for the companies. There are some disabilities that would make it very difficult to do some of the jobs involved in public transport, but obviously there is a significant number of people with disabilities who work in the transport companies. I would be interested to hear from the trade union representatives as to what is the record of the companies in that regard and where, if at all, there is room for improvement.
