Document summary
This submission focusses on the lived experiences of disabled people: the barriers to public transport, the predicted impacts of cutting bus services, and effectiveness of mitigations. This submission was compiled through our independent research, including insights from our panimpairment membership (600 people across the UK) and from enquiries made to our helpline (250 calls a month), and our previously published research. We have provided a top-level response to this consultation, focussing on the overall impacts of cuts to buses. We have not provided commentary on each of the >100 route changes; as a small organisation of disabled people, this was not achievable. We have used examples of specific routes in this response, but it should be noted that this is not a catalogue of all the potential impacts for those routes, neither are the examples representative of the total impact of the proposed cuts.
