Looking to enjoy a weekend getaway from Delhi but don’t have a
modified car at your disposal? Well, your search ends 1 August. Read on to
know more.
Neha Bansal, co-founder of leading eyewear retailer
Lenskart Solutions Pvt Ltd loves to travel but finds her
options limited as a wheelchair user. She would love, for instance, to
explore holiday destinations outside Delhi and soon, she can look forward to
doing exactly that.
Ezy Mov, the company behind India’s first wheelchair taxi
service, has announced plans to launch outstation trips from Delhi from
1 August. Great news, says Neha, who looks forward to exploring
hill stations near Delhi.
One of my biggest frustrations is that you cannot travel in India because
of the lack of accessible transport. There are so many excursions one can
make to places that are just seven to eight hours away but one cannot do
that for this reason alone. In Delhi, I have a car with a hydraulic lift so
I still manage. I use Ezy Mov extensively in Mumbai and this is great news.

Bennet D’cunha, Co-founder, Ezy Mov says the Delhi launch
has been in the planning stages for over a year. The company plans to launch
retail taxi operations in the national capital from the end of the year.
“We are scheduled to run full fledged retail taxi operations from
November/December on completion of transport formalities. However, it made
sense till then to start outstation trips to get a feel of the accessible
tourism market”, said Bennet to NewzHook.
Even better, the company has a pan-India permit which means users can travel
to any destination in India.
The vehicles used will be Tata Winger, which can seat three
non-disabled people and two wheelchair users. “Rates will be as per the
duration and longevity of the travel. The standard rates would be ₹18 per
km”, adds Bennet.
Chand Jalan, a wheelchair user and regular customer of Ezy
Mov, has used their services to travel outside Mumbai to places like Shirdi.
“I love their services. The cars have locks and there are seat belts that
work so you feel safe”. As someone who loves to travel, this is a dream
come true for Chand. “For people who find train travel difficult, this is a
blessing. Yes, it is a little expensive for us but this is a special service
and totally worth it. The drivers are very nice too. The best part is that
you can travel with your family. I would recommend it to everyone – 1,000%.
