Wheelchair friendly transport options in Singapore

Singapore is considered one of the most wheelchair accessible city in Asia. Government agencies, restaurants and attraction spots have put in place wheelchair inclusive structures, such as ramps, lifts and barrier-free features, to ensure that persons with disabilities do not face difficulties when accessing these places and enjoy the experience just like any individuals. This combined effort is to encourage individuals who are dependent on wheelchairs to empower them to move around more independently and enjoy their experience in Singapore. 

Transport options in Singapore for Wheelchair users

1. Ambulance

Ambulance service in Singapore provides medical transport services (MTS) for wheelchair users.

In cases where wheelchair users who requires need medical attention for non-life threatening conditions, a private ambulance can be hired. This option allows those who require support equipment such as oxygen administration equipment and ventilator service to travel safely with trained medical professionals. 

2. Wheelchair accessible taxis and private hire cars

Another wheelchair friendly transport option available are wheelchair shuttle services. Those who are wheelchair-bound or face certain mobility issues can book wheelchair accessible taxis and private hire cars for comfortable transport around the island.
