l PEOPLE who need a wheelchair-accessible Hackney may be charged a £5 booking fee if the driver is more than 2.5 miles from the job. Interesting. However it just goes to show how reluctant these councillors were to give these drivers a fare increase if they had to ask three times. Regards JD |

36.—(1) This section imposes duties on the driver of a regulated taxi which has been hired— (a) by or for a disabled person who is in a wheelchair; or (b) by a person who wishes such a disabled person to accompany him in the taxi. (2) In this section— "carry" means carry in the taxi concerned; and "the passenger" means the disabled person concerned. (3) The duties are— (a) to carry the passenger while he remains in his wheelchair; (b) not to make any additional charge for doing so; I wonder if the booking fee will get challenged? ____________________________________- Have you noticed that the act states Carried in "his" wheelchair rather than the politically correct approach of carried in "their" wheelchair. lol Regards JD |

Tbh, if i was busy, i wouldn't run 1/2 a mile for anyone able or disabled, certainly not 2 1/2 miles, so perhaps the answer is to treat persons with disability the same as able bodied people as we're expected to do, "sorry, we have nothing available at this time" |
