SINGAPORE : Transport operator SMRT on Saturday launched its Gift
of Mobility Programme by donating S$180,000 worth of taxi services to
four hospitals and two voluntary welfare organisations.
It said the beneficiaries are the financially needy who require
dedicated point-to-point travel for medical treatment, therapy sessions
or to work.
Giving out the cheques was Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan, who also witnessed the launch of a new SMRT all-in-one SPACE taxi.
It is Singapore's first taxi equipped with an automated hydraulic ramp, offering wheelchair users travel in safety and comfort.
SMRT has also trained 60 drivers as Taxi Medical Chaperons -
equipped with skills to assist and transport less mobile passengers. -
