Hi, Christian Bayerlein:
Wilgo offers you the accessible taxi service in Tokyo, although you prefer public transportation in exploring Tokyo. In Osaka, @tak is the accessible taxi service I recommend you.
The cabin of Wilgo, which has three passenger seats and one wheelchair space, looks like as attached picture. I’m curious about your comment, “Having said that, the seat can be separated from the body of the chair, so theoretically I could sit in it on a car seat”. Do you mean that your wheelchair seat can be put on a cabin seat and you sit on it? Some of our passengers with their wheelchair moved to the cabin seat from their wheelchair parked next to the cabin seat which might be comfortable a little bit.
It would be great if you can tell me your wheelchair model name, so that I would be able to understand better what you mentioned in your post.
