Question 1182 in the bank

What is the fare for carrying a wheelchair in a taxi?

  1. Correct answer: It should be carried free of charge.
  2. Half of tariff 1.
  3. Half of the route service fare.
  4. It should be free of charge if the handicapped person is not on the taxi.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: It should be carried free of charge.

A wheelchair is treated as an essential aid for the passenger, so a taxi driver must carry it free of charge. The passenger pays only the normal fare for their own ride. Options charging half of a tariff or half of the route fare are wrong, because no extra payment for the wheelchair is allowed.
