Help on the bus
The Helping Hand Scheme is designed to give people a helping hand when using bus services.
You can apply for a card that you can show to drivers when you get on the bus.
The card lets drivers know about what you need without you having to tell them.
It is very good for people who have a hidden disability.
Many bus drivers look out for the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower.
This lets people know that you may need help, understanding or a little more time.
You can get cards or lanyards to show to people including bus drivers.
