Wheelchair accessible taxi operators sought in Guernsey

10 October 2022

Action to address a lack of accessible taxis is being taken, Guernsey's government has said.

Anyone interested in applying to operate a wheelchair-accessible taxi licence is urged to contact Driver and Vehicle Licensing.

A shortage was highlighted as a concern in a recent review, the States said.

A spokesperson said it hoped to increase the number as a short-term measure, while continuing to develop "broader proposals for the sector".
