17 on-call Taxies Offer Free Xiamen Tour to Handicapped

More than 40 disabled people enjoyed a free ride from Xiamen University to the Wuyuan Bay Wetland Park, taking 17 on-call taxies on July 1. Initiated by the Xiamen Disabled Federation and organized by the Xiamen Disabled People Association, the free rides were provided by 17 Party member drivers from the Xiamen Haiyi Taxi Company.

In the past, it has been inconvenient for handicapped people to take buses or taxis. As a result, many of them tended to leave home infrequently. But as on-call taxis have become more accessible in the city, it has become easier for disabled people to leave their homes. To ensure more convenience for the disabled, a moving ramp was installed on each on-call taxi to allow increased accessibility for wheelchairs and taxies.
