Boarding the bus, Kate using the technology to find her seat. She’s told the journey to the station will take about 20 minutes. The bus is a ‘talking bus’ which means the names of the stations are read out along the way. This information is supported by the technology, giving her added reassurance.
As she travels into town she learns that she’s passing the university, the hospital, and other points of interest.
She gets herself ready as the bus pulls into the station and is guided to a quiet area so she can get her bearings - using the buttons on her headset to get additional information - before making her way onto the concourse.
