Issues
[/lead_text]
Many consultees use buses to get to and within Bath. Bus stops with accessible boarders were much liked.
Among problems highlighted were
- Issues with the crowded central bus station that did not allow for those who were slower or had poor sight or hearing.
- Inaccessible buses to certain out of town locations
- Bus stops on narrow footways that obstructed people passing.
