People with disabilities have the right to an independent, independent and active life. They have the right to access goods and services enabling full participation in society. Accessible transport services are the key to all social activity – learning, working, private life. In reality there are large differences between various elements of public transport system, which are primarily due to the existence of differences in legal provisions regulating each transport branch. This is the reason of differences in social inclusion level between particular country regions. It also causes economic exclusion of people with lower incomes who are unable to buy a car and adjust it to the needs of a disabled person.
