It is almost impossible for mobility impaired people in Guatemala City to use public transport. Design without Borders has contributed to the development of a new and accessible bus system.
In 2007, the Department Urban Mobility in Guatemala City started building the city's new BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) bus system, the “TransMetro”. Design without Borders has produced a manual with guidelines for the design of accessible bus stations. The design specifications are based on the principle of universal design. This means that the disabled and elderly for the first time can travel on public transport in the city without assistance.
