Taxi for disabled
who live in Mexico and may have some difficulty moving, there is an excellent taxi service for people with disabilities. It is a fleet of vehicles adapted to travel with a wheelchair, and the best is that their prices are only slightly higher than conventional taxis, but nothing excessive, and they're service "door to door."
If they need a taxi, call Softcomplex a Taxi, AC phones (55) 2458-5800 and 2458-5900, cellular (55) 2944-4066 and schedule your taxi service for disabled people.

The founder of this association of taxis is Miguel Angel Ortiz López. At the last meeting held by Stendhal, Miguel Angel was present and after the event to publicize their service was free of charge to people heading to the south of the city, but taxis cover the entire City and to neighboring cities.
Miguel Angel, who I met several years ago in a human rights event, does this work with more than just a corporate vision: it has a genuine spirit of service, because the idea came to him years ago when his mother used a wheelchair, and he lived needs to be transported in suitable vehicles.
