Bus ratings: accessibility and feeling safe onboard

• As expected, those respondents with a disability or other accessibility issue rate accessibility slightly lower than those with no disability
• In terms of safety onboard buses the younger the respondent the less safe they feel. This may be to do with the times of day/night they are travelling, or that younger respondents are more likely to be bullied or harassed in some way by their contemporaries
• Women feel very slightly less safe onboard buses, as do those with a disability or other accessibility issue

*Other accessibility issue is defined as those using a wheelchair, mobility scooter, walking aid, carrying a pushchair or carrying a large object
