    Hey folks,

    Hope you're all well.

    Wondering what your current experience of accessible travel is like? Does accessibility play a role in where you decide to go? What's your major issues with travelling somewhere?
    Transport? Accessible accommodation? Accessible pub or restaurant? Things to see and do?

    I'm a wheelchair user myself and to be honest find it a bloody nightmare! So many things to consider! Myself and some partners are working on a possible solution to these problems and are trialling in Dublin at the moment.

    Looking for your help if possible? We've developed phase 1 of the website and app and really need feedback. Could you have a look here –
    website
    https://mobilitymojo.ie/
    iPhone app
    https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/mobility-mojo/id1096118389?ls=1&mt=8
    android app
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sri.mobilitymojo1&hl=en

    Any feedback good or bad would be very much appreciated as this is where we need to tease out the solution.
    This will hopefully help huge amounts of people with accessible needs and delighted to be starting with Dublin.

    Thanks!!

    Stephen

    Great idea. I have mobility issues so would appreciate a guide to accessible places. Most places focus on wheelchair users but don't take into account the issues of putting the toilets far away in a shop or needing to walk somewhere to get a toilet key when you are limping and bursting at the same time!

    The IWA magazine recently mentioned the blog of a girl who writes reviews on the accessibility of pubs, clubs, festivals and gigs. She is in Dublin but gets feedback from other places. It is called Legless in Dublin I think.

    That's very helpful information, thank you very much.

    What else would you like to see included in the app and website?

    Hi, thanks for the feedback and fully agree. What's there at the moment is pretty poor but very excited about the next two months. We have the new site in development at the moment which will address those issues, and much more, so would be great to get your feedback on it when that's live. I'll keep you posted
