Transport accessibility

Travel South Yorkshire (TSY) is committed to accessibility of public transport and transport interchanges. 

Most buses in South Yorkshire are low-floor, fully accessible vehicles. They can accommodate one ‘reference size’ wheelchair and are easy to board by passengers with reduced mobility, or travelling with heavy baggage or children. 

In Sheffield the Supertram network is also fully accessible. Supertram has easy access to tram stops, doors that stop at tactile markings on every platform, straightforward access into onboard wheelchair spaces when boarding or leaving the tram, priority seating for elderly and disabled passengers, and the vehicles have audio and visual next stop information.

Visit our Transport Accessibility page for information on accessible transport such as:

  • Journey Assistance cards to print or show on your phone to use, 
  • the Door 2 Door service, 
  • information on Mobility scooters and 
  • accessible facilities at our Interchanges and rail stations.
