Disabusity

Inspiration

We recognise the usage of public transport in London as a difficulty for those with disabilities and neurodivergence. Loud noises, flashing lights, and inaccessibility can hinder individuals from daily tasks and significantly reduce life quality. Disabusity addresses specific issues of the London transportation network and offers a calm, accessible, and welcoming alternative to the London Metro. Our bus rides are accompanied by white noise, tinted windows, and wheelchair ramps, ensuring a frictionless and peaceful journey through the busy streets of London.

What it does

The London transportation system is not very inclusive. The volume frequently surpasses 90 decibels and can be difficult to handle for passengers with sensitivities. In the long run, these constant triggers result in hesitations to use public transportation and significantly limits life quality. Similarly, many train stops are not entirely wheelchair accessible and therefore create additional difficulties for individuals with disabilities. We aim to foster an inclusive community by eliminating those barriers and establishing a friendly alternative to current public transport.
