About GOJO

Get on board

GOJO is a new campaign for young people who have difficulties or fears using public transport – for example, you may have a visual impairment and need the bus driver to tell you when to get off the bus, or simply dont feel safe on public transport due to a previous bad experience.

Whatever frustrations you’ve had in the past, GOJO is here to help you get the best out of public transport. GOJO wants you to take more control and be more independent by using public transport to get out and have fun. GOJO is about independence, control and freedom.

You may have given public transport a go and found it difficult to use. You might have got used to being driven around, or find the idea of buses and trains all a bit daunting. But if you haven’t been on public transport for a while, you may be surprised how things have changed. There’s still a lot to be done, but due to recent legislation  and improvements  to access on public transport, you might find your journey easier.

It’s true that a bad experience on public transport can be upsetting. But GOJO is here to give you help and support. GOJO can give you all the information you need to give you confidence and independence and take control of your journey.

While GOJO has ideas and advice for everyone, this website has additional detailed regional information on the five cities and wider regions of Exeter, Manchester Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield. We chose these regions because overall they have good public transport networks and lots of young people. We hope that GOJO will cover more regions in the future.
