Tracey King is not able to drive because of her vision impairment.
Bishopdale resident Tracey King has a vision impairment and is unable to drive. She tends to use four routes that previously had a blue, red, white, or green bus.
“The bus has literally got to be on top of me before I see the number, so having the same colour, you're forever going to be stopping buses all the time,” she said.
“You actually feel disempowered ... like you're not a part of society.”

King says teal is not most ideal colour contrast-wise either.
At Riccarton Mall on a Friday night, just before 6pm, four buses travelling four different routes were scheduled to arrive within five minutes.
