Enabling More Inclusive Journeys

Giving up seats to commuters who need it more, helping those in need get up the bus, or moving in to make space for others are ways to show care and concern, these elements make the daily commute more pleasant.?

We can promote a more inclusive, caring, and gracious commuting culture by taking a step further - empowering commuters with knowledge that enable them to effectively look out for other commuters and render them support when needed.?

It is in this light that Go-Ahead Singapore is collaborating with Rainbow Centre to organise an upcoming public workshop on 30 May. Participants will gain a better understanding of the different types of disabilities and how to confidently interact with them, aided with sharing sessions, role playing and case scenarios.

Said Ms Linda Prebhash, trainer of the workshop, “This workshop will open doors and minds on disability inclusion. Today, parents are more comfortable to bring their children with disabilities to public spaces. People are willing to help but are unsure how to do so. This workshop will help educate public about the possible challenges faced by commuters in need and narrow the knowledge-to-action gap.”

With deeper empathy, understanding and necessary skills, we can confidently lend a helping hand to commuters in need, and ultimately foster a more inclusive transport system for all.
