SPD: Accessibility, Mobility and Transport


Accessibility

A Right to Transport

In Tshwane/Pretoria accessible transport for people with disabilities is almost nonexistent.

People with disabilities remain at home, are wheeled long distances and are dependent on the mercy of others.

Taxi’s refuse to pick up wheelchair users, overcharge for chairs and drivers are impatient with loading such persons.

Today a specially marked bus transports our people on a daily basis with a promise of more such busses to come, with the focus on 2010 Soccer World Cup.

People with disabilities have exercised their right to transport, facilitated by Gauteng North Services to People with Disabilities.
