Wheelchair Accessible Transportation by Nanaimo Taxi

The population of British Columbia is growing. According to surveys, the percentage of population with special needs or disabilities is also rising. Considering this fact, modern taxi services have been focusing to make their transportation accessible to the mobility challenged groups.

As per the updated publishing of the Passenger Transportation Board, the Nanaimo taxi operators and other participants of the transportation industry are required to understand the various transportation needs of mobility challenged individuals as well. 

Modern Nanaimo Taxi experts are focusing on various other essentials of the publishing. They are continuously making advancements in their services, strategies and vehicles to meet these needs. To make their service accessible, the experts focus on having wheelchair accessible vehicles to serve the mobility challenged population.

Other than having wheelchair accessible vehicles, the taxi services operators also focus on the training of their drivers. The drivers for wheelchair accessible taxis are hired on the basis of their specialized training including hands on training, testing and certification, delivery methods etc.

It has been observed that the wheelchair accessible taxis cost more than general options of taxis. This is because of two reasons including the higher cost of fuel and the money it costs to convert conventional vans into specialized ones. Nowadays, service providers and the government are working towards addressing the cost issues as well.
