Improving Accessibility of Buses to Blind and Visually Impaired Users(self.Blind)
submitted by chesplaylists
Hello, I’m Ché, a student at Loughborough University in the UK. I’m currently working on improving the experience of bus travel for blind and visually impaired users.
Although I’ve managed to gain some understanding of the current challenges through research papers and some statements from blind and visually impaired users, I would really love to interview some people on their experiences in order to design a solution based on actual user needs and not my assumptions.
I would be very grateful if anyone could spare 30 minutes for an online interview sometime in the next week.
You can contact me on here or at c.antoine-18@student.lboro.ac.uk
Thank you.

Hi Che, I'd not mind talking to you. I live in London and use buses a lot with my family. I'l send you a quick email and we can go from there.

I’ll email you after work today but in my experience driver training or lack thereof causes the most issues…

That’s something I saw mentioned in my research. Looking forward to speaking more later 👍🏽

If you've used buses in the US, but not the UK, are you eligible? Or is this a UK only study?
chesplaylists [OP]1 points1y ago
Yes! I’d love to hear about your experience if you’re open to chatting
Bsmith07991 points1y ago
Sure!

Do you have an email I can contact you at, or do you want to shoot me a quick email so we can correspond from there?

I sent you my email address. For obvious reasons I didn't just want to put it in this chat.
