Should the government require public transportation systems to be fully accessible to people with disabilities?

Full accessibility ensures that public transportation accommodates people with disabilities by providing necessary facilities and services. Proponents argue that it ensures equal access, promotes independence for people with disabilities, and complies with disability rights. Opponents argue that it can be costly to implement and maintain and may require significant modifications to existing systems.

No. But suitable alternatives should be available for those with disabilities

 @B52G7VSanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only for vehicles produced now and in the future; not to insist older models be rebuilt/replaced.

 @B4B9G5Panswered…1yr1Y

No, but public transportation bodies should be compassionate nevertheless, without being required.

 @B39866Fanswered…1yr1Y

No they would be banned unless if they in a wheelchair and can talk etc. just have they legs broken or cut off

 @B2ZHWGDanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, for publicly owned public transport. Privatised options should be allowed to coexist without the same requirements.

 @B2PSGJRanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, with a transition period to allow for required upgrades rather than replacing existing functioning systems

 @B2CRG6Danswered…1yr1Y

No. Australia is already one of the best. Only include this for new infrastructure

 @9ZTQK9J answered…2yrs2Y

It depends on circumstance and only do when viable to implement.
