Everyone is welcome on board

Metro is committed to making our services accessible, inclusive and welcoming for everyone in our community, including people with disabilities (visible and non-visible), neurodivergent people, older customers, people with temporary mobility needs, and anyone who may need a little extra support when travelling.

We believe public transport should be safe, respectful and easy to use. Our team is here to help you travel with confidence.

Accessible bus services

Most Metro services are operated using low‑floor, wheelchair‑accessible buses, making it easier for customers to board, travel and disembark as independently as possible.

We welcome customers travelling with wheelchairs and mobility scooters, including three‑wheeled mobility devices, where they can be safely accommodated on board. All mobility aids are subject to safety requirements to ensure a safe and comfortable journey for everyone.

Support when you need it

Metro staff are here to assist customers with accessibility needs and to provide help in a respectful and inclusive way.

If you need information about:

  • wheelchair‑accessible services
  • planning an accessible journey
  • travelling with a disability or mobility aid
  • any other accessibility‑related support

Our Operators and Customer Service team is ready to help.
