About Taxicard
If you have a disability that makes it difficult to use ordinary buses you can apply for a taxicard to help you to get around the city and make your journeys cheaper.
To be eligible you need to live in Edinburgh and have a permanent disability and be older than two years old.
A taxicard lasts for three years and allows you to make 104 trips per year. This is the equivalent of one return journey a week.
To use the card, either book a taxi or ask at a rank for a taxicard booking.
You can't hail a taxi in the street.
