Elderly Challenge - Observation 4

This week, I noticed that some elderly had trouble traveling around Singapore. There are buses and some taxis that are able to transport the elderly, however not all bus services have wheelchair buses and taxis which are able to ferry wheelchair bound elderly are limited. I recommend that bus and taxi companies should bring in more vehicles that can ferry wheelchair bound elderly around.

I also noticed that some food outlets have chairs that are drilled into the floor which makes it very difficult for wheelchair bound elderly from eating at the table. I suggest that food outlets should use movable chairs instead so that they can be moved out of the way to accommodate the elderly or putting sufficient space between seats so that the elderly can fit in.
