It is best to give 24 hr. notice. Also, they all have a hefty minimum of $30-35. SUBWAYS...To make sure your subway stop is accessible go to the TTC website. You can also make sure the elevators are in operation. Power chairs beware...while the subway trains are accessible there is a small chance of causing squeeking as the entrance to the train is not smooth. New subway cars are slowing entering the system. These are supposed to solve the problem. TAXIS…Almost all companies including Beck, Royal and Co-op can provide wheelchair accessible vans. It is best to give 24 hr. notice.

This is very helpful if you are travelling alone or need someone to push you while your companion carries the luggage.

May have to send someone inside to get them to use it, but once inside, it is accessible. The customer service is great and the bathroom is very useable. In summer there is an outdoor patio that is accessible. Porch lift at side of building. May have to send someone inside to get them to use it, but once inside, it is accessible.
