Aubin was one of ten projects chosen to be a part of the Billion Journeys Project to make public transport more accessible and inclusive.
Autism is a lifelong condition that affects how people experience the world.
Many autistic individuals avoid public transport due to anxiety from unexpected changes, sensory overload, or difficulty processing information — especially in busy environments.
This can have a negative impact on social and economic activities and leave many people feeling isolated.
