Fantastic to see public transport included in these crucial discussions. Well done @CIDvoice Thanks for sharing @dana_advocacy It is an enabler that must be accessible to all #TransportForEveryoneEverywhere #BeyondDSAPT #IHavePlacesToGo
Alliances –
Build a strong network of allies and rally the many voices of people with disability to speak as one national voice.

Another example of the emotional toll fighting for #DisabilityAccess on #PublicTransport can have on a person. Having to ask for access once is bad enough. Far too often it’s ALL THE TIME. #IHavePlacesToGo #Inaccessible
The amount I have to rant at train companies is getting stupid. Why is it so hard to assist someone properly?
I'm not a angry person really. I'm just so so so tired
@shebahrideshare #IHavePlacesToGo and I shouldn't have to wait longer or "prepare" people to be accommodated in the way the law specifies. @ellenffb @carlyfindlay @bluntshovels - I know tags can be annoying but I thought you'd find this relatable.
Dr in a wheelchair forgotten on the train despite planning in advance. “How is this still happening in 2020? How?!” How indeed. #IHavePlacesToGo #PublicTransport #HellaInaccessible #DisabilityRights
Sending love to

& @ryanlhonick, who have been attempting to address #abelism & rights violations in #RideShare & #FoodDelivery services. Many are now facing public scrutiny & abuse. #NotoriousSelfAdvocate #IHavePlacesToGo
Left on a train despite having arranged for help in advance. This time in the UK. People with disabilities who need help alighting transport get forgotten all the time. #IHavePlacesToGo #InaccessibleUnacceptable #PublicTransport #Wheelchair #DisabilityRights
Sinead: Landed at Tullamarine & decided to take a cab home. Walked up to the rank supervisor & told him I had an M40 disability card. Attendant then runs up and down the cab rank yelling 'Invalid! We have an Invalid! Whose M40 is working?' I took the Skybus home. #IHavePlacesToGo
@carlyfindlay told us she has posted ten times in 2018-19 about being discriminated against by #cab drivers. TEN TIMES, the most recent one on her birthday. It's ten times too many. #IHavePlacesToGo #DisabilityRights #InaccessibleUnacceptable @CPVVic @ptovic
@Kerri_Cass: The ramp at my local station. I worry that someday my #MS will mean I can't reach the platform. The nearest #accesible station is 5km away. If I can't use this station, the extra time and cost added to my commute may end my working life in the #CBD. #IHavePlacesToGo
Most of our Committee of Management use #wheelchairs to navigate #Melbourne, and most have been campaigning for an #accessible tram network since the 1980s. Below is what it looks like today. Still. Not. Good. Enough. #IHavePlacesToGo #InaccessibleUnacceptable
This is what Melbourne’s tram network really looks like if you‘re a wheelchair user.
Fully accessible: green
Some accessibility: black
Utterly inaccessible: red
People with disability are being treated as second class citizens. #EmpoweredLives
From Anja: Left my #AssistanceDog at home today because I was feeling vulnerable and didn’t want to risk a refusal of service from a cab or #Uber. The irony- on a day when I need my dog the most, I don’t have her cause #IHavePlacesToGo and services are often #inaccessible.
From a visitor to our fair city. @yarratrams @ptv_official @ptovic #IHavePlacesToGo #InaccessibleUnacceptable
Seriously Melbourne, what’s up with the exclusion of wheelchair users from your public transport? This sucks.
It's so, so important that the needs of people with disabilities are considered when making to changes to public infrastructure. Cutting Sydney Metro staff will make #PublicTransport less safe for many people. #IHavePlacesToGo #GettingAround #DisabilityRights
Let’s make Sydney Metro safe for everyone @AndrewConstance
1. Keep the staff on every train and station.
2. Open the doors long enough.
3. Make travel speeds safe.

The #inaccessibility of public transport isn’t just about physical barriers. Attitudinal barriers and #abelism play a huge part in making it hard for people with disabilities to get around. #IHavePlacesToGo #DisabilityInclusion #InaccessibleUnacceptable
Man at bus stop seeing me, a wheelchair user:
“I don’t have time to wait for a wheelchair to get on.”
Wheelchair users know about waiting.The resistance to us riding buses kept them inaccessible for years. Your wait is minimal. Our wait for access persists.
"My name is Kevin. I use the train every day to enjoy the city and my freedom. Most days people stop me and ask why I don't have a carer with me. It's annoying to have strangers question my right to be out on my own. Like anyone else, #IHavePlacesToGo" #Abelism #PublicTransport
Elisha lives in Brisbane, but faces the same issues as many Victorians with disabilities when accessing public transport. #IHavePlacesToGo #Accessibility #PublicTransport
Sitting on the ground at my bus stop cos I don't want to risk missing the bus if it leaves early and I can't stand long enough if it comes late. Still waiting on a response to my request for a bench. Or at least a bar stool up against the pole.
@jelynchjr @ShanderShow how about when someone is in the 10 or less line with 40 items. #kickthemout #ihaveplacestogo
