TRANSPORT

In India, we still do not have many options in Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles with “registration for tourist transportation”. Although, for intra-city travel, we can find taxi services with wheelchair accessibility. To overcome this challenge, we have identified 4 vehicles which depending on number of passengers and mobility challenge could be used for long distance travel. In each of these options, transfer from your wheelchair to vehicle seat is required which can either be done with manual help or suing transfer board. To serve you in the best possible way, we would appreciate if you could send us your mobility limits so that we can accordingly choose / suggest a suitable a vehicle.
