Yarraville has a strong local community feel, but transport can still be difficult for passengers using wheelchairs, mobility scooters, walkers or other aids. Many trips involve Anderson Street, Yarraville Station, Francis Street, Somerville Road, Williamstown Road, Hyde Street, Yarraville Village, local medical clinics, Yarraville Community Centre and nearby Footscray. For wheelchair passengers, the right vehicle and trained driver make the trip safer and less stressful.
Wheelchair Taxi Cab Melbourne was established in 2023 and now completes more than 150 bookings every week. Around 86% of our customers book again because they know our drivers are patient, trained, and experienced with wheelchair-accessible travel.

Our vehicles can carry up to 11 passengers plus the driver, depending on seating arrangement. Each vehicle can also carry up to 2 wheelchairs, making them suitable for family travel, NDIS activities, aged care trips and group bookings.
