How to Make Public Transport Moore Accessible for Disabled People in New Zealand
Welcome to another disability video, talking about the ways, the public transport system could be more accessible to those with disabilities. In this video, I will mainly be talking about vision, impairment, and Linus, as those of the disabilities are mainly affected by public transport, especially buses. I will be highlighting some things I think could be implemented into the Auckland public transport system for mainly buses, to make them more accessible for those travelling with vision, impairment, or blindness. While it is important to be inclusive to all disabilities, those with vision impairments often have trouble locating their bus in busy areas or knowing, which stop is theirs, wh...

This is very helpful. I am low vision myself, with similar problems such as yours.
Your video was easy to follow etc
Hi ashley,I love and enjoy watching your video,I am also legally blind with limited vision and I use a white cane with a roller ball tip,I was born three months early and I was in the incubator for the first four months of my life in and out of many different hospitals.I have ongoing eye problems that have stabilized for now.My white cane is just tall enough for me to use due to me being 4'7" and I am 59 years old
Ashley using her blind cane 🦯 and how she uses it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 3:01
From my observation there are far more similarities than differences on how a visually impaired use a cane vs someone who's totally blind. Main difference I see is it seem to be easier for you to keep a straight line in an open space than it is for my blind friends otherwise your techique is quite similar. *also you walk wayyyy faster than my blind friends
I didn't quite understand all of your comment, but yes as someone with a vision impairment it is easier for me to see where I'm going, the main reason I use a cane is because I have no lower field which means that if I'm walking without one I'm constantly having to look at the ground meaning that I can't look at what's going on around me, so use the cane when an unfamiliar environments, so that I can still look at the world around me while also dodging obstacles and yes do end up walking faster because I have more confidence, this is the same with guide dogs as well, they give you more confidence and you often end up walking faster, this is common with both visually impaired and blind users of guide dogs but it makes sense that if you're totally blind, you would still have a little bit of a confidence issue when using a cane, because it's still a bit tricky to dodge obstacles and see where you're going, I also think it depends on the type of vision impairment you have, minus is called cortical visual impairment which means that it's how my brain processes what I see, so sometimes I see more sometimes I see less depending on whether or not I'm in a crowded or cluttered environment versus an open space, there are also a lot of other factors that play part depending on the type of vision impairment you have as well as the amount of site you have, as well as how well you know the environment as well, these can all be contributing factors to fast person walks when using their cane versus without one, I only use my cane in unfamiliar environments as due to the type of vision impairment I have, I can still see a lot of of the world around me and often just struggle with crowds or stressful environments, needing the cane when I am by myself, however if I am in a familiar environment, I can often get around without my cane even by myself, so it all depends on how well you know an environment, how much you're able to see as well as how confident you are and so many other factors that I already mentioned, some people are going to be faster and more confident others are still going to walk slower or find it more difficult, again I think guide dogs are often what make fully blind people walk faster because they give them the confidence, whereas people who still have partial or the remainder of their site often only need to use a cane, or some people use nothing at all it just depends on the environment, the situation and what is right for you
your video was very straightforward and easy to follow with lots of good information
Great initiative Ashley, helpful advice, hopefully AT can take these suggestions on board!
I wanted to make this video to highlight the ways that public transport systems could be more accessible to those with disabilities, mainly focusing on the Auckland public transport system for those with vision impairment or who are blind, mainly focusing on buses, as they are my main form of public transportation, but I'd love to hear from others, on your stories or experiences with a disability, using your public transport system?
Very interesting! would love to see a house tour explaining what you have done to make the space work for you.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it, you can find house tours on my vlog channel Ashley's Advice Vlogs, that I made when I first moved into my new house, but I haven't thought to do a house tour explaining accessibility, that's a really great idea and I will look into that, I have a bath renovation video coming up very soon, sharing all the changes I did to make that more accessible for me though.
@@AshleysAdvice Can't wait!
As we go into winter I bought some new clothes from Jess jeans, Glassons and postie, including a new jumper, new jeans and some long sleeve tops, but winter definitely isn't my favourite season and I much prefer spring or autumn for the nice pretty flow tops with jeans or summary dresses with lightweight cardigans, but what's your favourite season?
Hi Ashley, I'm Jim, I was born partially sighted and while I was able to do many childhood things sports was not one of them. By the time I was 17 and just getting into the work force I was sent to a Low Vision Center and was fitted with a hand held monocular that was a life saver for me throughout my 43 years of work. Anyway, my reason for writing was to say Hi and I enjoyed your video and wnated to say kudo's to you and all who are visually imparired or blind and who insist on having there indepenence. Keep up the great and look forward to your next video.
My daughter has CP (due to cystic PVL) and we have just been told that she has CVI. This is a helpful video, thank you.
You're welcome, glad I could help
Happy to help xx Loving the green background!
Thanks for help with the video and yeah, I thought green was a good indicator of money, I know money can be all different colours but I think a lot of us associate green with money and I think black is a good standoutmix, so wearing a black shirt with a green background felt like a good contrast.
Since starting this new podcast, there have been specific topics I've wanted to discuss, highlighting the struggles of life with a disability. However this topic was very difficult to put together and I struggled to create this episode discussing the importance of financial responsibility and budgeting with a disability, as many of us struggle to save our money Due to the struggle of finding a job when you have a disability. Luckily I was able to go over the video with my sister and she was able to create this amazing new edited version, I apologise for all of the inconvenience putting together this episode for you , but I hope you enjoy how it all turned out. The sixth and final episode of my six part series will be coming out very soon and then I'll be taking a short break before the next six episodes come out, thank you so much for coming on this ride with me I hope you've been enjoying my podcast so far. This was a bit of a different episode but there were certain topics I wanted to talk about as I think money saving, budgeting and financial responsibility are very important especially when you have a disability and struggle to find a job.
Great review thanks, look forward to seeing more of the app in action
Great review, thanks for the information ❤
I am so excited to start using this new light in future podcasts and other videos, by having a connectable app I am finally able to have a lot more control over how I use this light stick, not only playing with the barn doors, but also with the app I can change the brightness and the colour, it also has an entire colour wheel allowing me to not only change between different colours but also different shades, meaning if a colour is too bright, instead of just turning down the brightness I can change to a lighter shade helping me to stand out. I'm so excited to be able to set the tone and mood for future videos with this really cool new light and want to thank my grandparents again for the amazing gift.
Very useful review from your point of view! Keep it up smash x
Thanks, I'm really excited to start using it in future podcast and other videos, I like that it's pretty accessible with an entire colour wheel meaning that not only do I have the classic bright colours but I also have different shades as well so if a colour is too bright instead of just turning the brightness down I can change it to a lighter shade Which I can then turn the brightness up on, which helps to sit the mood for a video or help with contrasting between me and the background
MY LIKE IS BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE MORE VIDEOS, AS FOR YOUR FRIENDS, SHAME ON THEM
Hi Ashley,I just watched your video and even though you posted it 2 years ago I still enjoyed watching your video.I am also partually sighted with limited visiin,I was born premature 59 years ago abd I received too much oxygen in the incubator even though my eyes were covered up.Over many years my eyesight have gotten worse then stablized and many operations on my eyes. I also have the same eye problems as you have and I also use a white cane with a roller ball cane tip that I use the same way as you use your white cane.I an independent with some help when I need it
Great video really because you know what the route is like, I am also blind and I use a white cane and I like to go to shopping centers with friends who have the same disability
That's great, glad I could help, finding friends is definitely difficult when you have a disability, so it's great you found others like you that you can hang out with, I know that something I still struggle with a lot.
Thank you Ashley, that you liked my comment, really when you go somewhere with the white cane you know what the route can be like.
In addition, I lost my vision in an accident, I went through the entire rehabilitation process to adapt to the new reality. All of this has been a lot of patience and sacrifice. I can contribute from my experience.
It's a little different when you are born disabled versus when you go disabled later in life, it's true that our community is the only community that anyone can join at any point in time, because anyone can wake up disabled tomorrow, through car accident or anything, but it's definitely a different experience living with your whole life versus only living with a few years and it's also important to remember that everybody's experiences are gonna be different depending on how long they've had their disability for as well as the type of disability you have, but I'm so glad that my video was able to help you be more independent when out and about and more confident with using your cane.
I tried to ask for help to help me cross the street or take public transportation because there are areas that are very difficult to access.
Cooking with a disability can be challenging, especially when you have a visual or physical disability that makes it difficult to chop up or cook food using an oven or stove top, but after getting an air fryer, everything changed for me and they were so many more meals I could make, whether it was just heating up frozen foods or buying premade meals I could Heat up, it was such a game changer, but I'd love to know how you cook your food with a vision impairment and what your favourite thing to cook in the air fryer is?
In this episode I discussed the struggles of buying and wearing jewelry when you have a physical disability like right am a pleasure or only have one hand and how that can affect putting on jewelry as well as the type of jewelry you buy or receive as a gift, whether it be long necklaces or dangle earrings Everyone has their own unique style when it comes to fashion and accessories like jewelry, but when you have a physical disability you often have to rely on other people for things as basic as putting an earrings or putting on necklace, so what do you do when it comes to putting on jewelry with a physical disability?
Lefty
In this episode I discussed what it's like shopping with a disability, discussing the difference between shopping online and in store, as well as the different types of shopping, from clothes shopping, furniture shopping and grocery shopping, sharing the experiences I've had shopping with a disability, but I'd love to hear from you what are 😊 your experiences, whether you are physically disabled or disabled in some other way, what is some struggles you face shopping with a disability and which is easier for you online or in store?
You are an inspiration!!
Thank you
loving the new podcast !
Thanks, been doing a lot of experimenting lately to try and get the best result I can, but I'm trying to release a new episode each week, I have six already planned out that I'll be releasing in the next few weeks.
In this first episode of my podcast, I discuss what it's like dating with a disability, both online and in person, but I'd love to hear from you, what are some of your experiences dating with a disability?
Exciting! Can’t wait for more 😁
The next episode will be on the struggles of Dating with a disability, each week I will be discussing a different topic that I found difficult to do because of my disability, things like reading tags on clothing, cooking food, finding a job etc.
Excited for this!
Thanks, wanted to try something new and thought I would give podcasting a shot.
Thank you all so much for checking out my brand-new podcast and for all of the support, I had a few technical difficulties but here is the official first episode , I look forward to seeing your comments as you support me through this six week journey together, discussing the struggles of dating, cooking, shopping, finding a job and more all with a disability in my brand-new podcast And apologetically Ashley, showing that although life with the disability can be difficult sometimes, it's only a small part of who I am, because at the end of the day I am Unapologetically Ashley.
I have no depth perception in low vision so I need the cane cuz I can't tell where things are in space. Before I got the cane I had some terrible falls and injured my back very badly. So now my king goes with me everywhere. For hiking I used to hiking poles which are awesome.
Cool, good to hear. I also have not much depth perception or a lower field or peripheral vision, but I don't really use my cane any more except for when I'm in crowded environments, it just depends on how much vision you have and how comfortable you are with your environment etc. Glad to know my video helped you, I have many other videos on my channel in my disability playlist you can check out if you have any other questions or want to know about anything else. I also have a podcast coming out very soon discussing a lot of different topics that I have discussed in my disability playlist on what it's like living with a disability, that you're welcome to check out as well once it ears.
Welcome to my 2024 channel news update, discussing what types of videos you'll be seeing on my channel this year, including my new podcast where I will be discussing topics such as jewellery, dating, cooking, shopping and more with a disability and what that's like. Along with figuring out what name I'm going to call it I'm thinking Tea Talk, but I'd love to hear your thoughts for what it should be called. I also discuss a new channel idea, hoping to get your feedback on whether or not I should create a reaction channel, the only downside is that it can be challenging to make reaction channels because of copyright issues, along with the fact that I've already watched so much television it wouldn't be a first time react and I'm worried about your curiosity, I would still be discussing disability elements as well as fashion and interior design giving a freshman on it even though I've seen the show or movie before. So let me know if that would be something you'd be interested in and what other things you're looking forward to seeing on my channel this year, along with what other podcast topic ideas you'd like to see. Also should I do any future live streams like this or would you prefer I just make regular videos?
New suscriber. Can we be friends?
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing all your experiences. I can't wait to get my first pair of Vessi's.
hi ashleyy i loved the video also that pink top looks so good on you 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Great video!
Outfit 4 is my fav. The white jeans with the blazer and crop top is such a great look!!
Another fashion video sharing five different ways to style white jeans, but what I wanna know is how would you style white jeans?
I got some great stuff this black Friday, but I'd love to hear what you bought this year?
Thankyou for sharing your problems with anxiety and overstimulation and how you deal with them. I am sure it will help others who face these difficulties.
You're welcome:) I'm glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
This was very well explained! Thank you :) What I had difficulty with was leaving when I needed to leave because of the overstimulation, because I would feel guilty or ashamed or afraid that people would insult me or mock me for going. But then I learned to set boundaries and therapy helped me to realize I don't have to deal with the overstimulation, I could leave anytime I want without shame.
Happy to know this video helped you with your anxiety and overstimulation too, I understand not wanting to upset your family or be confused about freaking out in public, I'm happy that you were able to talk to someone about how you were feeling and that this video helped you. Feel free to share it with others who you think may need to hear it, I'm happy I could help :)
I created this video to help those like me with anxiety and overstimulation due to crowded restaurants, concerts or busy environments, when it comes to overstimulation can be hard to know what to do to help you in one of these environments, in this video I go through some of my techniques and strategies are used to help me with busy or stressful situations and environments.
I've made a lot of Posti hauls lately, and here is another one, preparing for summer. What do you think of my new Summer pieces?
I just recently cleaned out my closet, but the video was so long I had to split it into two parts, so here is part two cleaning out my sports wear and T-shirt drawer, but I still want to know should I get rid of my Christmas dress and Paris skirt?
Cleaning out your closet can be really difficult, especially if you have sentimental attachment to stuff, but I think I did a pretty good job at cleaning out my closet, this is only part one of two. I really want to know what you think about my Christmas dress and skirt from Paris, should I get rid of them?
Cleaning out your closet can be difficult, especially when you've held onto clothes for a long time, but it was time for me to get rid of a few of my T-shirts I've had for over three years, as someone who shops on a budget, buying T-shirts between 15 and $30, meaning sometimes they're not the best quality, I'm surprised at how well my shirts have held up, but it's time for an upgrade, before I can clean out my closet I first have to update my wardrobe, but I know not everybody does this, so are you someone who sees which pieces you know need to be replaced and replaces them first before cleaning out your closet or do you do a big massive Closet clean out first and then replace all your clothes with new pieces?
I made this video for people like me, struggling to do hairstyles because of a physical disability or vision impaired meant. Are used to struggle with doing different hairstyles, but Since making this video I have figured out how to do a back Platt on myself
