Passenger Assist - Wheelchair Taxis with Assistance Peterborough

ACCESSIBILITY DOESN’T START WHEN THE VEHICLE ARRIVES.

For many disabled passengers, the journey starts much earlier — with uncertainty.

Will the right vehicle actually turn up?
Will my wheelchair fit safely?
Will someone understand the support I need?
Will I get help from the door?
What happens when I arrive?
Will the return journey be just as reliable?

For most people, a journey is routine.

For someone relying on accessible transport, one mistake can mean a missed hospital appointment, being left stranded, losing confidence to travel, or simply deciding not to go at all.

That is the part people don’t always see.

At Passenger Assist, we believe accessible transport is about far more than providing a wheelchair-accessible vehicle.

It is about the whole journey.

From understanding the passenger’s needs before travel…
to matching the right vehicle and assistance…
to safe boarding…
to patient, dignified support…
to arrival and handover…
to making sure the journey home is properly planned too.

Disabled people should not have to fight the transport system just to live an ordinary life.

A hospital appointment.
A family wedding.
A day out.
Lunch with friends.
A trip to the theatre.
Simply getting out of the house.

These are not luxuries.

They are part of independence, dignity, choice and freedom.

Passenger Assist was built because we see these barriers first-hand — and we want to help raise the standard of what accessible and assisted transport should look like.

Our ambition is simple:

Make the whole journey work.

Not just the vehicle.
Not just the pickup.
The whole journey.

If you are disabled, care for somebody who is, work in health or social care, or have ever struggled to arrange genuinely suitable accessible transport, share this post or tell us your experience below.

The more people talk about these barriers, the harder they become to ignore.

🚨 90% AREN’T WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE. HOW IS THIS STILL ACCEPTABLE IN 2026? ♿

Here’s a statistic that should shock us.

Only around 10% of licensed taxis and private-hire vehicles in England are wheelchair accessible.

And for private-hire vehicles alone, the figure is even lower.

We run Passenger Assist Cambridgeshire, and every week we hear from people struggling to find suitable transport for hospital appointments, family occasions, care home transfers and everyday life.

So we want to find out how big this problem really is across the UK.

If you, a family member or somebody you care for has struggled to find wheelchair-accessible transport, comment with your town or postcode area.

No personal medical information. Just tell us where you are.

10% is not enough.

Please share this. Let’s get Britain talking about accessible transport.

When was the last time Mum or Dad went somewhere because they WANTED to… not because they HAD to? 💙

Not hospital. Not another appointment.

A family lunch.
The seaside.
A wedding.
Shopping.
Seeing an old friend.
Simply getting out for the afternoon.

And when the important days do come — appointments, funerals, care home moves or airports — we’re here for those too.

♿ Wheelchair user? Reduced mobility? Need a little more help?

Tell us where they’d love to go. We’ll work out the rest.

There are some days you simply cannot miss. 🖤

A funeral.
A wedding.
A family celebration.
A visit to someone you haven’t seen in years.
One more special memory.

For elderly and disabled passengers, getting there can sometimes be the hardest part.

Passenger Assist provides dedicated assisted transport with wheelchair accessible vehicles, patient drivers and support throughout the journey.

We can collect from home or a care home, remain throughout the service or event, and bring your loved one safely home afterwards.

Because important memories shouldn’t be missed because transport is difficult.
