GoBus, one of Ireland’s leading providers of scheduled coach services, has announced its commitment to enhancing accessibility and inclusivity by recognising the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower on all its services.
This new initiative aims to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to public transportation and enjoy a seamless travel experience.
Recognising the importance of creating an inclusive transportation system, GoBus has taken significant steps to accommodate the diverse needs of passengers.
By recognising the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, the company aims to eliminate barriers and make public transportation more accessible for individuals with disabilities, empowering them to travel freely and independently.
“The accessibility for people with non-visible disabilities to travel on the GoBus or Irish Citylink networks continues to grow. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower has enjoyed a very successful partnership with Irish Citylink over the past year, and we look forward to working with GoBus team to ensure a positive experience for those travelling on both networks who may require support, understanding or a little extra time.” said Tristan Casson-Rennie, Regional Director Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, Ireland & Northern Ireland.
The recognition of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is part of GoBus’s ongoing efforts to improve accessibility. The company aims to make modifications to its buses and facilities in the coming years, including priority seating for individuals with disabilities and improved signage to assist visually impaired passengers. By incorporating these enhancements, GoBus aims to provide all passengers with a comfortable and safe travel experience.
This initiative allows the company to help passengers travel confidently and independently on the Sunflower-friendly coach services across its direct routes between Cork to Dublin City and Airport, Galway to Dublin City and Airport and Galway to Ballina Commuter network.
