First South Yorkshire Relaunch 'Safe Journey' Cards

First South Yorkshire have relaunched their industry leading ‘Safe Journey Cards’ and ‘Better Journey Cards’, which are designed to help customers use the bus.

The introduction of the cards has helped many people use public transport where previously they have faced difficulties. The cards allow the passenger to discreetly communicate a specific message to the driver. This can include:

•‘Please scan my pass for me’
•‘Please count out my change with me’
•‘Please speak slowly, I am hard of hearing’
•‘Please wait for me to sit down’
•‘Please be patient, I have a hidden disability’, which can include the effects of Alzheimer’s for instance.
•‘Please tell me when we reach my destination’ – the passenger can fill this in with the appropriate location.
•There are also sections where the customer can customize his/her own message to the driver.

Safe Journey Cards and Better Journey Cards are free of charge and can be printed directly from the First Bus website at:

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
