Factors To Consider
The space allowed on public transport for carrying mobility equipment is an area of 1300mm by 800mm.
Wheelchair spaces
All new Sydney buses feature special 'kneeling suspension' and a ramp to provide easy access for less mobile passengers.
There are spaces for two wheelchairs on the new buses. These will accommodate most manual and electric wheelchairs with max. length 1250mm, max. width 750mm, max. turning circle1500mm, and max weight 200kg.
For safety reasons, passengers in wheelchairs are advised to face the back of the bus, bracing their wheelchair against the side of the space, applying the brakes and securing the seat belt of the wheelchair.
Wheelchair accessible buses display a blue and white wheelchair sign on the front of the bus, and on the easy access door.
