How do they know they are on a bus? Never seen brail at a bus stop . . .

How about they use their guide dogs? I've seen plenty of blind people use buses and on other types of public transport because for some reason they never seem to drive themselves!

Why do foreigners smell?

So the blind can hate them too

I had a blind programmer working for me who had a combined Braille keyboard and screen reader, it was an amazing piece of kit. He was more productive then some of the sighted ones.

Also, a friend told me that under that box at traffic lights where you can press the buttom to cross the roads, theres a little thing that you twist instead of pressing the button, that seems kinda pointless to me, I mean come on, they're blind not stupid, am sure they can press a button, why do they need to twist a knob?

The "thing" spins round when it is save to cross, it is not instead of the button.

But they probably wouldn’t sleep with you.

I once saw a blind man get on the bus on his own with his guide dog. He seemed to press the stop button fine and get off the bus ok. I guess the guy must have listened for when the bus doors opened each time and counted the stops!

Either that or the dog was in fact taking his owner out to the shops and took his owner with him so he wouldn't have to carry all of his stuff back himself!

how do they know they are blind and it isn't just dark????

also makes you wonder if blind people see the light when they die

Those bloody blinds! What's next, their own Braille section at the library?

 

[Mr^B]

How are they going to find it?
Surely they can't just start swinging their arms when they need to get off.
How do they even know they need to get off?
They must have someone with them or something and then there's no need for brail.

Because they're not stupid, they just can't see.

They know the rough layout of the bus, they can hear where the doors are, and can feel buttons, and as it has "stop" written on it to assist sighted people, it has "stop" in Braille on it to assist blind people.

Some buses have pre-recorded messages when they arrive at stops, most blind people will know when they are at the stop because they've either learned to count the stops, or there are distinctive noises at their particular stop, or it's just after a series of turns, etc.

It's not that hard to work out!

They already have them

The "thing" spins around when it is safe to cross, it's not instead of the button.

This... I used to have much fun trying to stop it spinning.

Although I believe it spins when it's red, and stops when it's green to cross?

I'm going to corner the market by making a moped with brail labels on all the controls.
