Reply To: JPN Taxi
Hi All,
My name is Josh and I am from the taxi company in Japan.
JPN Taxi is made for Tokyo Olympic, but it is not super suitable for wheel chair riders(as it takes long time to get on the cab..) .
My company has JPN Taxis , but we dont really recommend for wheel chair riders. (I would say, JPN taxis are for the ones who have long legs, or tall people..)
We do recommend a taxi which is called “Nissan NV200” since this model is dedicated to wheel chair riders..
(Nissan NV 200 Universal design… sorry it is Japanese, but I guess you can still refer by images..)
