Wow, each ride is taxed $0.90 to hopefully provide taxi companies with wheel chair accessible vehicles so they can perform rides at a loss? The city would be better off forming a non-profit and managing the rides like public transit.

TransLink, the local transit operator, do have a service not unlike that you describe called HandyDART.

That may not be ubiquitously true, from some of the anecdotes here about those very transport firms,

and local taxi firm stories in general.
