2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority

Ms Anne Graham:

On our city services, there is no such requirement because there are wheelchair accessible and low-floor buses. The issue is generally whether the wheelchair space is available as it may be taken up by other users. With our regional coach services, because the facilities are not yet available throughout the State, one still needs to book 24 hours in advance to ensure that a wheelchair space is available for one. Where there is a vehicle with a wheelchair lift, the seats have to be taken out and it must be ensured that the lift is operational.
