Dyskryminacja osób niepełnosprawnych w publicznym transporcie zbiorowym – jak można jej zapobiec

Public transport should be available to all its users. If public transport means are not adjusted, or are not fully adjusted, to the needs of disabled and older persons, it makes an obstacle in their free movement within a city. It needs to be remembered that disability, as well as limited physical fitness, and their likelihood are increasing significantly after the age of fifty. Having identified this area during pre-audit analyses, NIK – for the first time – conducted an audit of the access to public transportation for disabled persons, taking into account its organisation, as well as the adjustment of vehicles and bus stops to the needs of these persons in ten cities in Poland.
