Notes
Please note that some assistive technology tools such as the IBM HomePage Reader and WindowEyes already make use of the alt+[access key] combinations. As such, users of these tools will not be able to use these access keys.
These access key assignments are based on research into best practice across the web (in an attempt to be consistent with other sites' access keys), and an understanding of the key global navigation requirements of Red Bus Services users.
Disabled Access for Buses
Our fleet of modern low floor air-conditioned city buses are used extensively on our regular services. Please contact our office before making your travel plans to ensure that one of our step-less entry buses is operating on the route you wish to use.
