Our special needs transportation schemes deploy a fleet of wheelchair-accessible vans/buses. These specially adapted vehicles provide ready transportation for our clients with mobility-related disabilities, enabling them to commute to and from work, school, vocational training, hospital/rehabilitation visits and/or recreational activities.
Upholding the belief that our fellow community members with disabilities should not be denied transportation opportunities, we introduced our dedicated transport services in 1980. These purpose-built vehicles, equipped with hydraulic lifts, have helped to fill the gap in transportation for the physically challenged, allowing them access to an affordable and reliable transportation means.
Dial-A-Ride
This scheme involves a door-to-door service, deploying mini-buses specially equipped to carry passengers in wheelchairs. It caters to the needs of people with physical disabilities (PWDs) and frail elderly who may have difficulty relying on existing public transportation modes. Clients may also book door-to-door ad-hoc trips in advance.
Our Dial-A-Ride transport service remains popular with the physically challenged who require dedicated transport for purposes ranging from medical consultations to rehabilitation sessions to enrichment/educational lessons and/or social and recreational activities.
