Travelling with MS: we talk public transport challenges and solutions
Is public transport derailing your life? We caught up with Meg Barnett (Transport For All), Flora (MS Trust helpline), Richard Sprenger and Antoinette Mohamed on public transport tips, helpful information and all the latest resources.
“It’s just really complicated. I hate having medical appointments because it’s so difficult to get to them.” - Antoinette
Does this sound familiar? If public transport is derailing your life, you’re not alone.
Between all of the planning, symptom management, inaccessible stations and social interactions, public transport can feel like you’ve got a one-way ticket to exhaustion on the fatigue express.
In fact, 77% of people in our study reported feelings of isolation due to barriers in transport and travel.
That’s why we caught up with Meg Barnett from the charity Transport For All, Flora from the MS Trust helpline team, MS Trust Ambassador Richard Sprenger and regular MS Trust blogger Antoinette Mohamed.
Our podcast guests talk us through their public transport wins and the inevitable disaster journeys. Plus, we hear about helpful apps, journey planning tips and where to turn to when our travels go severely off-track.
Whilst we know that we can’t wave a magic wand and fix public transport for the MS community, this episode might just give you a little more confidence the next time you’re setting sail on an adventure.
Listen now for all of the latest trusted information and tips.
