The Supreme Court of India has called for greater accessibility in public transport, urging authorities to make cabs more inclusive for persons with disabilities.
The court emphasised the need for wheelchair-friendly vehicles, highlighting the daily challenges faced by differently-abled individuals while accessing basic transport services.
It also suggested exploring dedicated cab services specifically designed for persons with disabilities, ensuring safer and more convenient travel options.
The observations came during hearings focused on improving accessibility standards and reinforcing the rights of persons with disabilities in India.
The move is expected to push policymakers and transport operators toward more inclusive mobility solutions, making urban travel more accessible for all.
