Even though it's a universal design ... Taxi refusal continual notification November 27th 4:16
A survey of disabled people groups that wheelchair users were refused in succession in the `` Universal Design Taxi '' that the country is promoting because it is larger than ordinary taxis and it is easy for people with disabilities to ride I understand. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism issued notifications to organizations created by taxi companies across the country and asked for proper operation.
“Universal Design Taxi” is a taxi with a larger door and wider space than usual so that people with disabilities and older people can easily ride.
The “DPI Japan Conference”, a group created by people with disabilities, surveyed the use status of “Universal Design Taxi” nationwide last month, and 32 out of a total of 120 wheelchair users were rejected. I understood that he answered.
For this reason, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism issued a notice on the 19th of this month requesting the proper operation of universal design taxis to the “National Higher Taxi Federation”, a group created by taxi companies nationwide.
Dentsu is the second time following last year, and refusing to board or make a reservation is a violation of the Road Transport Act because it is a wheelchair user, who does not know how to use a wheelchair device, or because it takes time to get on and off. , And will be subject to administrative sanctions and guidance.
“DPI Japan Conference” Director Satoshi Sato says, “I want you to avoid getting boarding again.”
