Do you
have disabled buses?
No, they actually run very well.
|
|
|
|
Do you
have to be disabled?
No, but it is the ’raison d’être’ of EasyRider NZ, so someone in
your group could be! Did you know that one in five people are
identified as having some form of disability?
|
|
|
|
How do
you get the wheelchairs onto the bus?
Each bus has a wheelchair hoist fitted. They also have extra low
steps so that anyone with reduced mobility will have no bother
boarding the bus.
|
|
|
|
Can you
take Mobility Scooters and Power Chairs?
YES.
|
|
|
|
How many
wheelchairs can you take?
Several - it all depends on which bus and how many people opt to
transfer to a seat, but up to 7 chairs secured is possible in the
largest bus, with approved tie-downs and seat belts provided. If,
for example, there are no more than 2 on wheels, there are 30 seats
as well.
|
|
|
|
Can older
people manage to get on the bus if they use a walking frame?
Yes - the wheelchair hoist platform is just like using a lift.
|
|
|
|
How far
will you travel?
“If you’ve got the money, honey” there’s no limit ~ but seriously,
the furthest destination so far has been to Paradise in Glenorchy,
(south of Queenstown), for an American tour group and we saw where
filming took place for "Lord of the Rings".
|
|
|
|
Do you
have regular organised trips?
Yes ~ we have the ‘Wheelie’ Friendly Travel Club, which is based in
Hamilton.
|
|
|
|
What is
the cost?
Each job is priced according to the vehicle used, distance/time
travelled, and expenses as applicable. The Travel Club has
individual prices as set out in the current newsletter.
The aim is to provide value for money, whilst keeping abreast of
costs and the market standards.
