"This guide will help when you are out and about and need to use a bus, train or taxi. It explains some of the things that you need to know to travel safely by yourself. When we made this guide we found out everything we could about travelling safely. We read other guides, we looked things up on the internet, we talked to the police and to road safety officers. We also talked to people with intellectual disabilities and their families to find out what they felt people needed to know. Then we put all the information together in a series of video clips and this book. To make the book easy to read together with the films we took pictures from videos we filmed, of the things you will see when you are travelling. We hope that these resources help you to get out and about and travel safely." - INTRODUCTION
