Following the success of the ‘Please offer me a seat’ trial, TFL have announced the badge and card will be introduced on a permanent basis early next year.
The ‘Please offer me a seat’ badge and card were trialled to help customers who needed a seat, but had difficulty getting one. The trial was a response to feedback from customers and research conducted last year, which found people with invisible impairments, conditions and injuries can often find it difficult to get a seat when they need one – particularly if their need is not obvious.
TFL plan to launch the badge early next year, and aim to provide it to everyone who needs one. To be notified when the badge and card is live, please sign up to the email updates from TFL.
