The Taxicard Scheme enables people with permanent and severe mobility difficulties to travel by taxi at reduced fares. You can apply for a Taxicard if you are permanently resident in Angus, aged over 2, unable to use ordinary bus service and:

• Are registered blind.

• Have a severe and permanent disability.

• Have an acquired brain injury  and the application is supported by the acquired brain injury worker.

 

However you will not qualify for a Taxicard if you are:

• In receipt of a Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance.

• In receipt of a War Pensioners Mobility Supplement.

• A holder of a Disabled Person's Parking Badge (Blue Badge) and have ready and regular access to a vehicle.

• The driver of a car.

• The holder of a Scotland Wide Free Bus Pass.

• Able to use ordinary bus services.

You can use the Taxicard for any purpose, at any time day or night - provided you book in advance. And you can travel to Alyth, Blairgowrie, Coupar Angus, Dundee plus anywhere in Angus.

Taxicard holders will pay 50% of the fare as long as the total amount on the meter is no more than £10 .For fares over £10 the Taxicard holder will pay £5 plus the amount on the meter over £10. You can also take up to three friends with you - one will travel free and any others 50p each - but they must travel to and from the same place as you.
