  Wheelchair accessible bus services for disabled passengers

  SINGAPORE : Disabled passengers can now take buses on 29 bus routes island-wide on Wheelchair Accessible Bus (WAB) services.
  
  And there are plans to expand these services to meet the goal of having 40 per cent of all buses on the service by next year.
  
  It isn't just about having a wheelchair accessible bus; the service has to make travel seamless for commuters from the very start of their journey.
  
  At the bus interchange, the passenger calls the duty officer on the intercom at a special bus berth. The passenger's bus number will then appear on a sign, and that is the bus driver's cue to pick up the passenger.
  
  This service has made life easier for Palanisamy Avaday, who has had to rely on a wheelchair since contracting polio as a child.
  
  The operations executive at Bizlink Centre Singapore said: "I am very comfortable with the safety (aspect) because there is a safety belt which goes to my waist. So when the bus moves around, it (my wheelchair) doesn't move around very freely."
  
  SMRT runs seven of the 29 wheelchair accessible routes, and plans to add 67 more such buses by the end of the year. It sees about five wheelchair-bound users daily on its WAB services.
  
  Kang Huey Ling, vice president, SMRT Buses Limited, said: "WAB services have to do with the bus routes, and that has to take into consideration the infrastructural accessibility, that means the bus stops... the interchange must be also wheelchair accessible."
  
  So bus stops and interchanges plying the WAB service routes will have to be equipped with lower kerbs, rail guards and ramps.
  
  The Land Transport Authority is working on making all bus stops wheelchair friendly by next year. - CNA/ms

  If you want to watch it, you can watch from Channel NewsAsia and click 'Video'. Go 6 June and find the video.

  If you are lazy, just open videos and paste this: javascript:playVideo('090706_sg_wabservice.flv');
