A Yorkshire woman in a wheelchair has spoken out about the alienation of being a less able-bodied person after being dismissed by a transport company.
Dee Smith attempted to order a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) three hours before she needed it with City Taxis but was told the service wasn’t available to disabled wheelchair users.

City Taxis says it was unable to take pre-bookings for wheelchair vehicles, as it would ‘need to check the availability of the vehicles in the area’. The firm therefore asked Miss Smith to call back 30 minutes prior to needing a taxi.
