Our Services

 

Disabled Customer Transport

 

Our wheelchair accessible taxis are accessible to the widest possible range of passengers. A fold-down ramp provides convenient and dignified entry for wheelchair users and a built-in securing facility holds chairs in place throughout the journey. The elderly or those with moderate walking difficulties can make use of the intermediate step. Movement inside the passenger compartment is made easier thanks to easy-grip grab handles which are highlighted, along with seat edging, in colour-contrast material to help people with impaired vision.

 

Our wheelchair accessible taxis include the following accessibility features:

  • Integral fold-out ramp with extension.
  • Four-point wheelchair restraint belt with over-centre clamp.
  • Yellow grab handles and seat edges for poorly sighted passengers.
  • Integral child seat with lap and diagonal seat belts.
