MyBus wins Award for Services to the Blind


The MyBus team has been recognised for improving the independence of those who are blind or partially sighted.

MyBus was nominated for the Go Shop Award by a passenger with sight loss who benefits from the service.

The awards, run by the Royal National Institute of Blind People Scotland, aim to encourage improvements that make public services more accessible.

SPT Chief Executive Gordon Maclennan said: "I am absolutely delighted that our MyBus service has been acknowledged for the facilities it provides to those affected by sight loss.

"The MyBus team work extremely hard to provide assistance to all service users and they are always happy to welcome guide dogs and carers who travel with those with visual impairments on their journeys.

"At SPT we really do make it as easy as possible for people who are registered blind to use MyBus, they just need to provide the details of their National (Scotland) Concessionary Travel for Blind Persons card and they can start booking MyBus straight away."
