Public transport – have you faced discrimination since your stroke?

People with disabilities left feeling 'helpless' and 'humiliated' after trying to access subsidised taxi fares.

Since Adrian O'Malley had a stroke 16 years ago he has not been legally allowed to drive, so he often relies on taxis and rideshare vehicles to get around.

Wheelchair taxis are an essential service but they can be difficult to find in regional Victoria, leaving people with disability stranded.

He says what he experienced at Melbourne Airport earlier this month was disability discrimination, and it should not have happened.
