Taking a Mobility Scooter on Buses and Trains: Permits, Size Limits and Planning Ahead

A mobility scooter can open up local trips, and combining it with a bus or train can take you much further. But not every scooter is allowed on every bus or train. This course explains the voluntary bus code and scooter permits, the size limits operators use, how trains handle scooters, and how to plan a journey so you are not left at the stop.

This course gives general information. Each bus, train, coach and taxi company sets its own policy on mobility scooters, and policies can change; always check with the operator before you travel.
