Accessible Public Transport Service

Final Call for All People whose Physical Disabilities Render Them Unable to Use Mainstream Public Transport

This is a final invitation to those who wish to use the transport service for people living with disabilities but who are currently not being accommodated, to make an appointment with the dedicated therapist for an assessment.

Appointments can be made throughout day by calling 0800 600 895.

If you have an appointment, you will be collected at home, taken to Tygerberg Hospital for the assessment, and returned home.

During the assessment the following documents must be presented:

• Certified copy of your identity document.
• Proof of address (preferably a municipal bill).
• Proof of income.
• Medical report.

You will also be asked to complete a travel survey questionnaire, which will assist Transport for Cape Town in determining the demand for the service and understanding the travel patterns of people living with disabilities.

Please note that:

1. No person will be included on the database for accessible transport service:
    

• without having gone through the assessment process.
• if he/she fails to submit all the required documentation mentioned above.

2. The closing date is 30 November 2014, and no further assessments will be done after this date.

For more information please contact the Dial-a-Ride call centre on 0800 600 895.
