    Hello Folks,
    I have posted already on different boards, but i would like to get as many of your opinions as possible. I'm an MSc student in DCU, and I'm completing my dissertation this year. I'm doing research on Dublin's taxi industry. The ultimate aim of the research is to improve the working conditions and service level of the taxi service as a whole.

    Some, particularly on this board, will argue that the taxi service is inadequate to deal with the needs of individuals whom have differing mobility requirements. It is this disparity which I would like to raise and assess as part of my research.

    If you are have a few spare minutes, please fill in the survey below. As I said, the research is aimed at bettering the current situation. Also, any points you would like to contribute, please post on the thread.

    Please click HERE for the survey.

    If you are a taxi or PSV driver, please fill in THIS survey


    Many thanks,
    Steve

    Hello all,

    I've had a great response to the survey so far. I'm very interested in getting the views of those who have difficulty travelling within dublin. This is not so much a survey about how the service is, but how it SHOULD be.

    The level of detail some participants went into is indicitive of the frustration felt by many. My sincere thanks to all who have given their time already. If there are any particular issues, please post on the forum.

    Steve

    Just an observation, the number of wheelchair accessible taxis in Dublin is very low, about 5.5% of the actual number of taxis on the road.

    Is this enough or do you think that because the majority of taxi journeys are by non-disabled people this figure represents the actual demand for wheelchair accessible vehicles?
