Who's Describe Online for?
- Ever wondered where to go after you step onto the platform or how to find your train when you leave the bus or taxi?
- Ever felt lost in the maze of tunnels and galleries where no natural light reaches you?
- Ever been left wondering what the sign really means when you don't know where you are, let alone where you're going?
If you answered Yes to any of the above, then it's for you.
