About Riders’ Rights

What started off as the ‘Bus Map Project’ grew into becoming Riders’ Rights, a grassroots civil society organization (CSO) built on a collaborative network whose main aim is to make public transport accessible to all and promote inclusivity across ethnicity, gender, age, social status, and physical or mental ability disabilities. Riders’ Rights aims to defend riders’ basic rights and encourage the use of the existing bus and van network as one of the primary means of mobility while building incremental alternatives or solutions for the sector.

We are all volunteers believing in what we represent, join us and become part of the team!
