1. Inclusive Design

   March 22, 2024 4:16 pm Leave a Comment

   Our TXEs are designed for young or old, regardless of physical ability. With hearing loops, helpful braille embossed controls and contrasting non slip handles.

   HELPFUL CONTROLS

   Passenger features such as USB chargers, climate control and driver intercom are braille-embossed for those with impaired vision.

   HIGH VISIBILITY CONTRASTING

   Bright, non-slip handles aid the entry and exit of all passengers, especially those with limited vision, while high visibility seat edges help passengers safely find their seat.

   INDUCTION LOOP

   ​We also have an induction loop, allowing hearing aid wearers to hear the driver clearly, the channel is also marked on both sides of the vehicle with visible labelling.

   And with our large clear partition screens passengers are able to communicate visually with drivers.

2. Swivel Seat and Step

   March 18, 2024 1:16 pm Leave a Comment

   Our taxis set the standard for inclusive and sustainable urban transportation. Whether you are in a wheelchair, struggle with sight or have hearing problems we can look after all your needs every step of the way.

   Our swivel seat and step help our passengers with restricted mobility.

   SWIVEL SEAT

   Sometimes restricted mobility impacts the ability to twist so to provide easier entry and exit. An easily accessible swivel seat pivots outside the vehicle for better access.

   INTERMEDIATE STEP

   We have an intermediate access step, reducing the step height by half enabling passengers to exit the vehicle with greater ease.

3. Wheelchair Accessibility

   March 12, 2024 10:42 am Leave a Comment

   Our Licensed London taxis are specially designed to accept customers with all needs, including those in wheelchairs and those with difficulty transferring. Our ambassador drivers understand that each passenger is unique and may require personalised assistance.

   The easy to use, strong ramp offers easy access for wheelchair passengers. Entry is further aided by the shallow ramp angle, that of a typical kerb.

   Prominent lips to each edge help to ensure the wheelchair’s angles and prevent the wheels from leaving the ramp.

   The taxis also have a high door opening, which is a real benefit to all passengers, especially for wheelchair users. It reduces the need for stooping upon entering the taxi and reduces discomfort in the case of wheelchairs users.

   Wheelchair users may remain in their wheelchair and travel forward facing when travelling with us thanks to our comprehensive restraint system in-line with the ISO 10542 standard.
