Reply To: Lifting a folded scooter into a taxi
Yes, it’s as @joshgrisdale said. If taxis saw me on the wheelchair, I barely got any of them to stop (actually none I think). If I was standing next to the wheelchair with its wheels removed and the seat folded, then some taxis stopped. The ones that stopped also put it themselves on the trunk. If they see you out of the scooter, they’ll know that you don’t need an accessible taxi and, if it’s folded, they can see that it may fit in the trunk. It may take some taxis to stop, but, as there are many, eventually someone will. Also, if you book it from the hotel, they can explain your needs in advance, so the one that’ll come will be ready. I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan!
