[Colorado-talk] Bustang again: app accessibility

Sun Mar 6 23:16:14 UTC 2016

Hi all:

After receiving George's message claiming that the Bustang app is accessible, I decided to have several other people besides myself test it. One of these testers was Wes Majerus, who people will remember as a former CCB tech instructor.

Wes concurs with myself and several others that the app is, in fact, not accessible. In short, he concludes that there is no way to correlate the schedule times with The various locations. If tickets can be purchased right on the bus, it would seem to me that the main purpose of this app would be to determine the schedules. This makes it useless if it is inaccessible. Might I respectfully suggest that somebody with some knowledge of coding contact Bustang and/or the app developers to push for accessibility, since this is a product that would be in demand by voiceover users.
