PRT will be fully accessible to disable patrons and will comply with the relevant legislation. Elevators will be provided in elevated stations and the ticket machines and stanchions will include intercoms and Braille plaques to insure ease of use by all patrons. The vehicle accommodates wheelchairs riding sideways, with a jump seat for one traveling companion. The platform is level with the vehicle floor to prevent wheelchair bumps and is textured at the edge to assist the blind. Taxi 2000 is designed to be easily accessible to all people, whether disabled, young, old, carrying heavy bags, traveling with a bicycle, or have any other special need. It has been praised and promoted by groups representing the needs of the disabled.
