Special facilities should be made available to enable the differently abled to travel through public transport stations. Public identification signs, information boards and help desks should be set up on the routes.This will help people with disabilities plan their travel plans.

Facilities should be made available to enable the differently abled to know the operating hours, stops and seating facilities of stations with special facilities, buses and trains.
There are many children with autism. They need to be taken for treatment.

If the assistants who accompany the differently-abled are also provided with a seat, the assistants will be more willing to take them for treatment.Improving public transport facilities for people with disabilities will reduce the personal transport travel costs of people with disabilities. This will provide them with a saving.

Persons with Hearing Impairment, especially those ones who use ISL to communicate on day to day basis, need ISL based access to all kinds of information there is - auditory and textual - at all public places (airports, railway / metro stations, bus stops) and on the public transport vehicles.

1. Video of ISL interpretation (pre recorded) on TV / display screens to be made available.

2. Where TV / display screen is not compatible with video based ISL accessibility then a QR based video accessibility should be developed wherein deaf people can view information in ISL on their mobile phones.

3. In all lifts / elevators at present, emergency communication is only voice / sound based. Visual and video phones (devices which facilitate both tele and visual conversations) should be added inside all lifts / elevators and connected to control rooms with Video based virtual ISL communication enabled.

4. Real-time travel status updates via GPS and announcements shall be made available.

Delays in public transport for people with disabilities should People with disabilities have to get on and off when traveling on public transportation systems.not be considered a big issue.
All train and bus stations should be accessible. People with disabilities are a waste of time during boarding & deboarding.
Public transport employees are under pressure to be on time. In small public transport stations, boarding and deboarding is a waste of time. Even if the travel time of trains and buses with facilities for people with disabilities is increased, no action should be taken against the employees.
Being punctual will create a crisis for public transport employees. It will affect people with disabilities.No other passenger should be allowed to use the seat reserved for the disabled and their attendants. Even if the situation arises, the disabled person should be given their seat immediately upon arrival.

Refusal to give the seat should be punishable by imprisonment for 6 months

पर्वतीय क्षेत्रों और तीर्थों में कोई भी निर्माण कार्य प्रारंभ करने से पहले पर्यावरण संबंधी ऐहतियात बरतना अनिवार्य होना चाहिए।

आवागमन के क्षेत्र में नई ऊंचाइयां छूने हम आतुर हैं लेकिन अभी थोड़ा जमीनी स्तर पर सोचना होगा
*-वायुसेवा के क्षेत्र में और चुस्ती मुस्तैदी और जांच पड़ताल की आवश्यकता है।
* रेलवे कुछ सुधार की ओर है लेकिन स्वच्छता और समय की पाबंदी के क्षेत्र में विशेष ध्यान रखना होगा। प्रत्येक जोन में एक विशिष्ट योजना अधिकारी की नियुक्ति अनिवार्य होना चाहिए जो समयपालन और व्यवस्था पर पूरी निगरानी रखें।
* चौपहिया वाहनों को प्रदूषणमुक्त बनाया जाए, अनाप-शनाप फ्लाइओवरों के निर्माण के पहले पूरी रिसर्च आवश्यक है लेकिन इस निर्माण कार्य के लिए वृक्षों की बलि देना अपने पांव पर कुल्हाड़ी मारना ही है।
* अभी तक जितने निर्माण कार्य किए गए हैं पारदर्शिता और ईमानदारी का पूर्णतया अभाव रहा है अगले निर्माण कार्यों की स्वीकृति के पूर्व निर्धारित योजना बनाई जाएगी और ईमानदारी पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही तय करने के बाद ही कोई निर्णय लिया जाए।
