Allow use of disabled bus passes from 9am

We the undersigned petition the council to Allow disabled residents to use their bus pass before 9.30 am, enabling them to get to medical appointments and work. Bus passes are given to disabled people because this vulnerable group, protected in law, have extra barriers to overcome in order to use public transport. It is often harder for disabled people to find jobs, and we believe that restricting their movements until after 9.30 places another barrier in their way to finding work.

In Brighton and Hove disabled residents can use their bus pass from 9am. We would like to see the time restriction changed in line with this.
