Access taxis cater for passengers with mobility difficulties or disabilities, particularly those with wheelchairs and scooters.
Purpose-built vehicles are fitted with hydraulic lifts that enable passengers in wheelchairs and scooters to be positioned safety and securely into the taxi.
Single wheelchair taxis are available or commuter buses that can fit two or three wheelchairs plus passengers with four to ten seats.
Drivers undergo training to increase their understanding, knowledge and skills to cater effectively for passengers with disabilities.
Subsidies for people with permanent and severe disabilities
People with permanent and severe disabilities that limit their ability to use transport independently can apply for assistance to travel by taxi or buses, trains and trams.
Passes for people with physical or cognitive disabilities
People who are unable to validate a ticket using on-board equipment due to physical or cognitive impairment can apply for the mobility pass.
A cognitive impairment can involve intellectual disability, dementia, acquired brain injury or other disability.
The mobility pass exempts the holder from having to validate a ticket when travelling on an Adelaide Metro bus, train or tram.
Passes for people who are blind or vision impaired
The vision impaired travel pass entitles the holder to unlimited free travel on Adelaide Metro buses, trains and trams.
A medical certificate from an ophthalmologist, optometrist or a medical practitioner is required.
