Travelling With Patient Or An Elder? No Problem! Our Paratransit Vehicles Can He

Posted by LAYellowCab on August 3rd, 2014

Have you ever wondered why when boarding a plane, there is an announcement telling all passengers that those who are handicapped, pregnant, with infants, and with the elderly should board first? Well, some of us may think that this is because these people need special treatment. In a way, they do. However, if you come to think of it, if you were traveling with such people with you, just imagine how difficult it would be.

Traveling with a patient or an elderly can be quite the hassle especially if you are not used to such. You simply cannot book a cab Venice Beach that easily because these people have special requirements that such cabs cannot provide. Even a taxi West Hollywood cannot give them their needs when it comes to transportation.

If you are new to this whole thing, then you should know better than to hail a cab Marina del Rey that has passed you on the street. But there is a solution to your traveling problem. What you need is a paratransit vehicle and it is going to be a huge blessing.

What is a paratransit vehicle?

Is this the first time you have heard of a paratransit vehicle? Well, a paratransit vehicle is actually a special vehicle built to transport patients or elderly folks who do have special needs. It is going to be your saviour when it comes to traveling from point A to point B. These are vehicles that need to comply with the requirements of the FTA so that they can have the license to drive around.

There are different types of paratransit vehicles and choosing which one to book should depend on the needs of the patient or the elderly that you are with. There are small versions of this type of vehicle while there are also really huge ones. Again, these are to provide comfort and safety for those who have special needs.

What is inside a paratransit vehicle?

Some people just have no idea what kind of vehicle this is. That is why they are curious so as to know what can be found inside it.

Most paratransit vehicles are vans that have been specially modified so that going in and going out of the vehicle is easy for the patient and the elderly. Usually, you can find a passenger van converted to become a paratransit vehicle. It comes with a wheelchair lift. It also has enough head space to give the passengers more than enough room for their special needs.
