Brighton & Hove buses are committed to ensuring their buses are accessible for everyone and they run a number of services to assist people. All buses have ramps for wheelchairs, scooters and buggies and if for any reason a wheelchair cannot board the bus then a complimentary taxi will be provided instead. Brighton & Hove buses also operate a Helping Hands scheme which is a discreet way to inform the driver of any special requirements, for example if you need the driver to face you so that you can lip read. Brighton & Hove is also part of an award winning Talking Bus Stops scheme, which allows visually impaired people to electronically access travel information. Hi-tech signs allows people with visual impairments to receive spoken information on services and travellers can hear which bus stop they are at, which buses are coming and when they will arrive. Up-to-the-minute information also appears in writing on real-time signs.
