Public Transport upgrade
Getting around the Gold Coast by bus will soon be even easier for seniors and people with disabilities.
From March, Council will begin upgrading bus stops throughout the city to bring them into line with standards which make public transport accessible to people of all ages and abilities.
Council has committed some $720,000 to the upgrade of bus stops in selected areas of low, medium and high passenger volumes to best meet the needs of the community.
Seniors and people with disabilities will benefit from the upgrades, which will see the installation of tactile markers and improved seating, wheelchair access and wheelchair waiting areas.
By making traveling by bus easier for more members of the community, the upgrades also will encourage greater use of public transport
