A lot of what we've discussed today was covered under the 'accessible information' consultation in relation to the Bus Services Act 2017. There's a fair chance that these solutions will need to be (at least partially) funded by Government.

I can understand retrofits and installs for independents being funded by the government, but I'd imagine for the likes of Go Ahead, Arriva and Stagecoach, the cost to implement NSA on new vehicles would be negligible when you consider the amount that they're spending on the vehicles in the first place.
