DBV member Andrew noticed that “stop” buttons on some newer trams and buses have braille on them. Some members say these buttons are hard to find, and they prefer the cord overhead as on the older models. For more discussion about Deafblind access to public transport, see the following posts:
Here is a translation of Andrew’s video in Auslan:
Hi, How are you? It’s Andrew here. Today I’m talking about the Braille stop button that you can find on buses and trams. I noticed them the other day so I took this photo. The stop button is a long, red, shape and has Braille so you can feel it. Thank you!
