enabling, empowering, & enhancing
...the lives of people with disabilities
Taxicard
The scheme allows Londoners who have restricted mobility which prevents them from using busses or trains to travel in contractors' licensed radio taxis-black cabs- at subsidised rates. To be eligible users must be virtually unable to use buses or trains because of either blindness or any permanent or long term disability or injury which seriously impairs the ability to walk.
To join the scheme users must:
- be able to use ordinary black taxis
- have access to a telephone (for booking taxis)
- be resident in a participating London Borough
The scheme works by the user contacting the taxi contractor or a taxi may be hailed or accessed at a taxi rank. At the end of the journey the user pays the fare determined by the particular borough.
