ABC Radio Melbourne recently interviewed Lilly on Melbourne Breakfast, where she shared her experiences navigating public transport as a blind university student. Lilly described the challenges of using Ivanhoe Station, which lacks the tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs) that are essential for her safety and independence. Instead, she is forced to walk 30 minutes to the next station.
Lilly is advocating for TGSIs to be installed at both Ivanhoe and Heidelberg stations, a campaign that has already gained strong community support, with a petition attracting over 1,600 signatures.
