Multiple Problems, One Solution
Wheelchair users encounter daily obstacles navigating urban landscapes. Their challenges range from inaccessible pathways to limited information on city accessibility.
No more waiting around for public buses or relying on others for travelling. With WheelTrip, wheelchair users conquer the busy city streets laced with unpredictability.
Ever asked yourself why we haven’t flown cars yet? Well, we asked ourselves why wheelchair users can’t rove around town with ease. That’s how WheelTrip popped into existence.
