Hi Emily. Fortunately, I usually have good experiences on public transport,, but im not in a big city like London. But, or course, there are issues even where I am here in West Yorkshire. My biggest fears are train - im fine whilst on the train, and usually the guard is very good, and helps where necessary. Its like you say, when trying to get out - people have no consideration for me, always trip over my cane and then give me a mouthful , and im always knocked about by people wanting to push past. On a good not, that I am very excited about - I received a call from Guide Dogs Uk last week, saying they possibly had a match for me, my first guide dog. I had a meeting the following day with the potential match, went on a walk etc. Few days later, back again and had a sleep over and I am now starting my training on 16th March! I am soooo excited ( and nervous) x

This was an awesome video Emily. You’re right, people need to be more considerate and they need to think about how as a disabled person you not only have to contend with the usual annoying of public transport like lack of seats and being in a hurry but also added ones as well. They should realize that if you’re negotiating space for your service dog you would need extra room and you can’t move as quickly as they can and they should also realize that if you were visually impaired it might take you longer to orient yourself with a particular location or swipe your card, which by the way I can totally relate to the difficulties of, and they should not be impatient with you or take their frustrations out on you.

Don't huff & puff when having to get ramp out is one thing I think is important; especially on buses! In terms of priority seats in my area I find that one person will use the second seat as a place to put their bag, massive issue on the buses here. They won't give up their second seat.

Sarah i have noticed people who get annoyed at this and I’m always like “what? You can’t wait a few minutes?”

Emily, I’m so with you on this. My experiences are 90% positive but when you’re travelling during rush hour and people are rude or walk into Ida I get really frustrated. I’ve also had the same issue with not being able to find a seat so having to stand by the doors and people essentially asking me to move out of the way so they can get off and all I think is - why did you wait until the doors opened to rush onto the tube when you cans clearly see it’s busy...Gray video highlighting these incidents.
