🚍 Assessing Accessibility: MyCiTi Bus service 🚍 Last week, QASA conducted an accessibility assessment on selected MyCiTi Bus routes in Cape Town. Five wheelchair users participated, evaluating the accessibility of bus stops, boarding areas, and surrounding infrastructure across three stops on each route. This exercise was part of QASA’s ongoing efforts to highlight challenges and advocate for improved mobility and inclusion for people with disabilities. We are proud of the participants for their valuable contributions, and their feedback will help inform future advocacy for accessible public transport in South Africa. #AccessibilityForAll #QASA #InclusiveTransport #DisabilityRights
