When using a wheelchair multipurpose taxi or taxi (MPT) for the first time, can be difficult to know what to expect and what can or can not do. This is a useful guide for wheelchair users who have never used a multipurpose taxi before or do not use one very often.

How I can catch a taxi wheelchair? You can do this in one of three ways. First, the passenger is able to hail a cab on the way free. If you turn the light on top of a taxi, the vehicle is available to businesses, but stop if it is safe. Second, the passenger can find a taxi (usually from the front of the major train stations and crowded streets, airports) and get the first vehicle available. Some classes will be issuing general-purpose taxi if there is a wait.

Since these two options can be difficult for passengers with disabilities, the best option is the third: to call the taxi company.
