Do you have concerns around the introduction of e-scooters? Are trains and buses accessible in your opinion? How could operators help you more? Have you been refused access to a taxi with your guide dog?  Put your transport questions to a panel of Bristol Council and transport representatives at our Visual Impairment (VI) forum.

We are delighted to have a panel of local authority and transport experts taking your questions on the accessibility of e-scooters, buses, taxis, and trains in the city.
