Wheelchair-accessible taxis

Wheelchair-accessible or multi-purpose taxis (MPTs) are specially equipped taxis that provide essential transport for people with disabilities or mobility difficulties.

Fare subsidies are available for people who have a severe disability that prevents them using a conventional public transport bus service.

How to book a multi-purpose taxi

MPTs currently make up about 6.5% of the Perth taxi fleet and can be booked through the following taxi companies:

• Black and White Taxis 
  Phone:  13 10 08
  
  
• Swan Taxis
  Phone:  13 13 30
  

Make sure you advise the operator of any special requirements such as wheelchair access, scooter use or child restraints assistance with luggage.

Guidelines are available for MPT drivers.
