Transport handicap - its causes, its scale and its effect

Abstract

It has become clear during all stages of our research that transport plays a vital part in enabling disabled people to live independent lives and to be a full part of the community in which they live. All Change, a consumers study of public transport handicap in Greater London, published in 1986, sought to gather information about the scale, causes, and extent of transport handicap in the Greater London area. The findings are based on interviews from people who define themselves as transport handicapped.
