Public transportation in Metro Manila is not P-W-D-friendly.
That’s what drove JAJEV Industry to invent the adaptive tricycle.
It is a simple motorcycle with a sidecar so designed to enable people who have lost control of their legs to drive it.
Juanito Mingarine, himself a PWD and one of the company’s founders, says the vehicle is an answer to wheelchair users’ need for mobility.
He says it is difficult to find cabs that take wheelchair users as passengers. JAJEV plans to eventually make a standard design that would serve like a taxi for P-W-Ds and non-P-W-Ds.
