Wheelchair-Accessible Taxi

A taxi or on-demand vehicle fitted with a ramp or lift and interior tie-down points that allow a passenger to travel while seated in their wheelchair. Wheelchair-accessible taxis are a core component of paratransit in many cities, dispatched either through general-purpose taxi apps with accessibility filters or through dedicated services such as Seoul's SWAT, London's Black Cab fleet, or New York's Accessible Dispatch. In practice, wheelchair users frequently report long and unpredictable wait times, driver refusals, and limited vehicle supply, making reliable dispatch-time information a significant accessibility concern in its own right. Related terms: paratransit, mobility aid, transportation accessibility.
