"...even bus fares can be too much"

When looking at barriers it was clear that when people are experiencing financial poverty, they are less likely to be able to access any information online unless they were to go to a library. Inherent in this fact is another barrier- not everyone knows how to use a computer. One weakness we all noticed was that the food bank we visited was not near a bus stop or railway station. This means that for some people they would have to walk, get a lift maybe, or use two to three buses, depending on how rural the area they live in, or even get a costly taxi. In these circumstances where you cannot afford food, even bus fares can be too much, which often results in not being able to make the journey in the first place.
