As a Disability Pensioner who has to use a Walker at all times, I am furious that only about half of the Buses are Wheelchair Friendly and particularly in the Metro area. Also Drivers are not supposed to assist anyone onto the bus due to Workers Compensation rules and so we who are already disabled and at great risk or further damage have to do it ourselves. No buses should have stairs and All have at least one wheelchair friendly entry point. When is our Govt going to stop wasting money on things that do not assist the people of our State and Get With It?

Not only your Govt is like this as we have the same problem in Victoria & our Govt spent about 1 & a half billion dollars on a ticketing system that is still not working. We need to employ someone from Switzerland to sort out the public transport system as i have been lucky enough to use their system & its on time & clean yes no graffity. I think we need a disabled polition to speak on our behalf & maybe then we will get what we need to try & live a normal life.
