About holding of UD taxi ride experience meeting
Overview
Yokohama City has been promoting the introduction of welfare vehicles by taxi operators for a long time, but this time, we will hold the "UD taxi ride experience meeting".
It is an opportunity for people with disabilities who are worried about using taxis on a daily basis, and to experience a taxi ride. Taxi companies and car manufacturers will also gather, so I hope that you will be able to resolve the concerns of using taxis on a daily basis, such as how to fix a wheelchair, riding a large wheelchair, riding alone, and riding experience alone. .
