Please RT pic.twitter.com/VxTNR42pc4— TfL Access (@TfLAccess) 30 August 2016 This is why Transport for London (TfL) are trialling new ‘badge cards’ to make other passengers aware of those unable to stand. For now, TfL is recruiting 1,000 people to take part in the European-first six-week trial to assess how successful it is for passengers to use as well as the reactions of others. Those trialling it will also be given a card that can be shown to TfL staff.
