This could be remedied by the installation of efficient audio advice technology, similar to the type of device provided for train commuters at many train stations, or the various audio options used on Melbourne trams. The recommended practice of buses only departing from the front position in this particular bus queue is apparently not always the practice. So, audio advice could definitely assist in this regard too, if it provided not only the destination of any bus about to leave, but also if it advised of the position of any such bus in the queue at the bus stop. This would surely also have the benefit of allowing more buses to flow through the bus stop, helping alleviate congestion and waiting times behind. Perhaps there could be a 'real time' audio announcement made by the drivers themselves, via their own microphone / speaker system on each bus, probably best delivered as they arrive at the stop and then a couple of times before they depart.

This provision will benefit blind and vision impaired ppeople to travel independently, and many others with a variety of needs.

]]> Fri, 3 Aug 2012 05:41:06 UTC 13474924 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/13463705?utm_medium=rss Lack of audible announcements is a problem throughout Victoria's public transport system. I am disappointed that this problem affects users of the Moorabool Street bus interchange. Sadly, accessibility is viewed as an after-thought or an dispensable extra. It is unacceptable that Public Transport victoria's actions imply that travellers who can read signs and bus numbers are entitled to be aware of approaching buses, while those who cannot, due to vision-impairment or other disabilities, do not share this entitlement. I hope this problem will be rectified soon.
