The government’s plan to increase the number of special taxis this year was announced through a reply to lawmaker Lei Chan U’s written inquiry. According to a report by TDM, a public tender will be opened for the right to operate the 100 additional special taxis. The government will also consider setting a certain quota of wheelchair-accessible taxis for the disabled. In November 2017, more than 50 percent of Macau’s buses were wheelchair-accessible buses and 60 percent of all buses had low platforms.
