Abstract

In the era of technological advancement, various tools could help people with disability to live as regular citizens by performing their jobs to fulfil their daily needs. People with disabilities may work by using tools such as sticks, wheelchairs, communication devices, and other tools to assist people with visual impairments in accessing information. This issue is also equally important when it comes to transportation which has a role in increasing productivity. It can be argued that if the city can provide mass transportation, it will be significantly useful to society regarding cost efficiency and it will also support people’s productivity. A trip that takes long hours with traffic congestion causes people with disabilities to have difficulties in fulfilling their daily needs which even makes the availability of more comfortable transportation for disabled people necessary. This is because disabled people are unlikely or usually unable to ride a vehicle such as a motorcycle or drive a car, particularly people with low vision or visual impairment and other severe disabilities. Therefore, online transportation becomes an efficient alternative in supporting the mobility of people with visual impairment who mostly work as therapists. By using existing smartphone devices, they can easily access apps to receive faster services.
