Accessibility Notes: Audience members must RESERVE a spot for a guided tour by contacting the Box Office. Audience members who participate in the guided tour will be required to walk and travel between venues and bus stops within downtown Hamilton. Tour groups will meet at the designated Box Office location to check in, travel as a group to the bus stop, board the HSR and listen to the audio show, then exit at the bus stop at the next venue. Audience members must be prepared to pay standard HSR fares upon boarding the bus to participate in the tour. The ticket price has been adjusted to accommodate for the additional HSR fare. Audience members must download the audio file in advance of the tour and be prepared with a listening device (e.g. cell phone) and earphones.
From the HSR: All buses in Hamilton have Accessible Low Floors (ramps) and the International Symbol for Accessibility appears on the front and side of the bus. Accessible Low Floor buses have ramps that provide level entry and exit with no steps. These floors make it easier for everyone, especially for people in wheelchairs, scooters and walkers to get on and off the bus. HSR buses can accommodate wheelchairs and scooters within the standard size of 30” wide by 48” in length which complies with the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
