Bus drivers offered empathy training

Disabled and blind volunteers have offered to give bus drivers extra training to raise awareness of vulnerable passengers’ needs.

Richmond Aid, which provides advice and information on disability, and Richmond’s visually-impaired society Visor, have joined forces to offer the free training.

It follows concerns raised over the challenges disabled passengers face when using the borough’s buses.
