HAILING A CAB FROM THE PHONE

| 16 Feb 2015 | 11:52

    Wheelchair and scooter users can now hail a wheelchair-accessible cab by dialing 311 and asking for the Accessible Dispatch System, which then finds the nearest wheelchair-accessible taxi. The fare is the same rate as every yellow taxi. To accommodate these customers, the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission chose United Spinal Association to train taxi drivers to secure these devices.
