A new campaign has been launched to help improve the experience on public transport for those with invisible disabilities.
The “Please Offer Me a Seat" badge and card can be used across Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann, Iarnród Éireann- Irish Rail, Luas, Go-Ahead Ireland, and TFI Local Link services. TFI launched the badge today in partnership with Invisible Disability Ireland.
If a passenger with an invisible disability has difficulty standing while using public transport, the badge or card will help them to subtly alert fellow passengers that they would welcome being offered a seat. Some examples of invisible disabilities are fibromyalgia, autism, head injuries, chronic pain, poor balance and multiple sclerosis, along with other conditions.
