What does 9.7 require?

Where possible, allocated spaces on buses (other than dedicated school buses), ferries, trains, trams and light rail are to be consolidated so larger mobility aids can be accommodated, provided the access path to and the manoeuvring area for each space are not compromised. An allocated space may be used for other purposes, such as a fold-down seat, when no passenger in a wheelchair or similar aid needs it. On buses, trains, trams and light rail the floor of each allocated space must display the international symbol of accessibility and be outlined with a flush contrasting strip 25 mm wide. On buses (other than dedicated school buses), trams and light rail the space must contain movement of the aid towards the front or sides of the conveyance.

8.7 Requesting a boarding device: a real-time means for a passenger to tell the operator they need the device to alight, with any signalling device in the allocated space, a 25 mm control operable with one open hand to clauses 10.4.3(c) and 10.4.4 of AS 1428.1 (2021), 2.5 to 5 N button force with an integral light and hearing augmentation on any audio system; a means to request the device to board, located at the boarding point to clause 10.4.3 of AS 1428.1 (2021)
