As Uber continues to battle the incumbent taxi and
minicab trade in the UK, the company now offers Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles
(WAV) in London. The new UberWAV option can be booked across the whole of
Greater London and vehicles will come with a rear entry ramp, winch and
restraints.
Uber pleaded that over the next few weeks, wait times are
expected to be around 25 minutes in more central areas, and around 40 minutes
for people further out (in Zones 3 and 4); more vehicles will be added over
time.
The online transportation network company also assured that UberWAV
drivers are all top-rated and have been given Disability Equality Training from
Transport for All and Inclusion London. They also go through the same safety checks
as regular Uber drivers.
