Taxicard
Taxicard offers subsidised travel in licensed taxis and private hire vehicles (mini cabs) to London residents with serious mobility impairments or who are severely sight impaired.
It enables members who have difficulty in using buses, trains and tubes to get out and about.
The scheme provides trips for social purposes, for example, going shopping, visiting friends and family, and going out to events.
It is not suitable for time critical appointments, such as hospital visits, as it is dependent on the number of drivers available to take the bookings. Although every effort will be made to provide a vehicle on request.
Taxicard is funded by your local council and Transport for London. It is administered on their behalf by London Councils, with ComCab London providing taxis and private hire vehicles (mini cabs).
