You raise a good point. I have often seen braille on bus doors. Louis-Braille numbers identify the door number. However, it could take a long time for a blind person to find these numbers on a door. The conventions are not quite in place yet as to where the braille would be located.
You referred to schedules. We might as well forget about that. No transit corporation issues its schedules in braille. The institute offers plans and has developed expertise in the field of geospatial development. Two years ago we signed an agreement with the STM that allowed me to access all of their plans. We adapted 44 out of 69 stations in Montreal to the tactile system. Blind people can consult a booklet and see, for each level and transit shelter, where they would gain access to the metro and bus stops. We are currently working on this for Montreal.
There is a great deal of work to be done in other cities and public places, like, for instance, this wonderful place we find ourselves in today. There is no site plan for this building any more than there is for the House of Commons. How could a blind person conceptualize the space he or she is in? We now offer a new product, for the development of tactile matrixes on paper, allowing blind people to understand where they are and what route they should take to get to a given location. There still is a great deal of work to be done when it comes to access to transit, public buildings, museums. We are navigating in unchartered waters.
