More Details
TRANSPORTATION: In Queensland:
Manual and Powered Wheelchairs - wheelchair accessible taxis can transport manual and powered wheelchairs and the person can stay in the wheelchair (or transfer out of the wheelchair onto a regular taxi seat). The manual or powered wheelchair must then be anchored down with tie down straps and the client must use the taxi lap sash seatbelt.
Scooters - wheelchair accessible taxis can transport scooters (they do not refuse to do this) but the person has to transfer out of the scooter onto a regular taxi seat and use the taxi lap sash seatbelt as the scooter is not safe for the client to be transported in. The scooter must then be anchored down with tie down straps. If the client does not want to transfer out of the scooter then the driver may refuse to take the client.
Floatation style chairs - wheelchair accessible taxis can transport floatation style chairs and the person can stay in the chair (or transfer out of the wheelchair onto a regular taxi seat). The floatation style chair must then be anchored down with tie down straps and the client must use the taxi lap sash seatbelt.
POINTS TO CONSIDER: The space allowed on public transport for carrying mobility equipment is an area of 800mm x 1300mm.
If you have a long or wide scooter or wheelchair it may be advisable to mention the length and width when ordering the taxi as it may not fit on the wheelchair loader or inside the vehicle.
