Look up and around! We’re raising the awareness of the green priority seats.

If you are sitting in a priority seat and are able to sit or stand elsewhere, do the right thing, take a moment to check if someone else needs the seat more than you.

Some passengers don’t understand what the green seats are for, so we’re piloting a campaign on a small number of buses to see if we can raise the awareness of priority seating.

We want everyone to have a safe and comfortable journey. You can sit anywhere on a bus, however the priority seating plays an important role in giving passengers who have a disability, are pregnant, have small children or are feeling unwell the confidence that they can safely and comfortably travel by public transport. Priority seats on buses are the green coloured seats that occupy the lower level near the front of the bus for easier access.

We’d like to hear what you think about raising the awareness of priority seats.(external link)

Metlink is committed to making public transport accessible and convenient for all passengers. For more information, you can read, watch or listen to the Metlink Accessibility Charter.
