In
Pune, India, bus stop shelters along
an entire six-kilometer route were upgraded to be more
disabled friendly. A spectrum of features for passengers
with mobility, hearing, and vision disabilities has
been installed. In addition, bus drivers received disability
awareness training and new buses incorporate wider entrances,
improved handrails, priority seating, color contrast
on handrails, and visual stop signs for passengers who
are deaf or hard of hearing.
