TfL to improve Tube and bus accessibility with mini ramps and wheelchair spaces
Transport for London aims to have half of all Tube stations with step-free access

Installing mini ramps and dedicating more spaces for wheelchairs and buggies on trains are great steps. I’m glad to see they have a goal of making half of tube stations step-free by 2030 too, if funding comes through. It’s important that everyone can travel easily. Some upgrades should happen this year it says, with the rest depending on funding timelines.

That’s really awesome that they’re bringing more awareness and representation to disabled access. Even small things like that can really make a difference in inclusion and visibility.
