A new taxi and private hire firm has launched in the Northwest of England with a specific focus on supporting passengers with disabilities and special needs.
Maize Transport, based in Wirral, Liverpool and Chester, is offering a dedicated taxi service that aims to deliver practical and reliable transport options for people with mobility challenges. The company has introduced a modern fleet of easy-access and wheelchair-friendly vehicles to help meet the region’s accessibility demands.
Each vehicle is fitted with ramps and safety systems designed to support passengers with a wide range of needs. Drivers have received additional training to assist customers requiring mobility support, with services tailored to ensure comfort and safety.
Alongside the new service, Maize Transport has invested in green technology. A growing number of its vehicles are fully electric, powered by electricity from the company’s own solar farm. The move supports a shift towards lower-emission taxi travel in the region.
Passengers can now book and manage journeys using a new mobile app and website, where they can choose vehicle type and track their driver in real-time.
Maize Transport’s Operations Manager, Mark Newbery, said the company’s aim is to give all passengers a dependable service that supports both accessibility and sustainability. The firm is positioning itself as a new option in the region’s taxi market with an inclusive and environmentally conscious approach.
Newbery said: "We are excited to announce the launch of our new services. As a brand new company, this expansion reflects our unwavering commitment to providing all clients with the best possible transport solutions tailored to their specific needs.
“We understand the challenges people with mobility issues face in accessing transportation, and we are dedicated to ensuring everyone can travel with ease, comfort, and dignity. Our investment in renewable energy further demonstrates our commitment to a sustainable future.”
