Go-Ahead Group-owned Bluestar is working with community initiative Can Do-Leonard Cheshire, to help provide travel training for local people with disabilities.
The Southampton operator hosted a group of 11 vulnerable young people, showing them how to get on a bus, tell the driver where they are going and how to use various payment methods.
“Can Do does an excellent job, making sure people in the region have the chance to get involved in volunteering opportunities – and travelling independently on public transport is an important part of that,” says Nikki Honer, Bluestar head of communications.
