Accessible Bus Sites
Hello everyone,
Goldstein, Borgen, Dardarian & Ho and Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund are engaged in structured negotiations with a municipal bus system to improve the accessibility of its website. We are looking for GOOD examples of municipal bus system websites. Does anyone have any recommendations of public bus system websites that they can successfully navigate with their screen readers to find out arrival and departure times, routes, payment information, et cetera?
Please Contact Megan Ryan at 510) 763-9800 or mryan@gbdhlegal.com
