From January: all single-decker buses must be accessible to wheelchair users
On January 1st 2016, regulations will be coming into force that compel all single-decker buses in the UK to meet minimum accessibility regulations. The Public Service Vehicle Access Regulations (PSVAR) 2000 demand that all single decker buses have accessibility standards including a wheelchair bay; a wheelchair ramp or other boarding device, and priority seating. After January 1st, it will be a criminal offence under the Equalities Act 2010 for a bus not to comply with these access regulations.
