Accessibility

Our accessibility principles

Independence

we design for autonomy and choice, so you can move on your own terms.

Safety

we prioritise safe pickups, respectful service, and clear support pathways.

Dignity

we work to make pickups, routing, and support predictable and reliable.

Fairness

we expect non-discrimination and respectful behaviour on the platform.

App and website accessibility

We aim for our digital experience to be accessible and usable for as many people as possible. Our goal is to align with WCAG 2.1 Level AA wherever practical, and we review and improve continuously.

• Screen reader support: alt text, labels, and keyboard focus.
• Scalable text, clear contrast, and consistent navigation patterns.
• Keyboard navigation support on web where applicable.

Getting a ride in Georgetown

Georgetown can present real-world access challenges: uneven pavements, drainage, heavy traffic, or no dropped kerbs. Choose safe, visible pickup points like building entrances, hotel lobbies, or well-lit corners where the vehicle can stop safely.

• Ask your pickup to fit access needs.
• Message your driver with a boarding tip, if safe to do so.
• If you need extra time to board, let your driver know as early as possible. If a fee is applied and your disability affected boarding time, contact Support for review.

Mobility devices and wheelchairs

We welcome mobility devices such as walkers, canes, and foldable wheelchairs. Vehicle trunk space and configurations vary by model.

• If you use a foldable wheelchair or walker, send a quick in-app message after matching to confirm fit.
• Wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAV): WAV-capable vehicles are not part of the fleet, which is made up of all-electric Tesla Model 3 sedans. We will update this page if that changes. Our drivers are trained to assist passengers with foldable mobility devices.

Service animals

Riders using service animals should be able to travel with dignity. GuyWay does not allow drivers to refuse a trip because a rider is travelling with a service animal. If you experience an issue, report it to Support immediately.

Hearing and vision support

Blind or low vision

Use screen readers for core trip actions where supported. Use in-app messaging to confirm pickup and vehicle details where text works best, and a trusted contact when needed.

Deaf or hard of hearing

Use in-app messaging instead of calls to coordinate pickup. Drivers are encouraged to use clear text-based communication.

Drivers and accessibility

GuyWay drivers meet our team in person in Georgetown, pass a licence and police-clearance check, and complete the safety induction. We train for respectful service, non-discrimination, safe pickup behaviour, and appropriate assistance when requested, within reason and safety.

• Drivers should not refuse a rider based on disability or accessibility needs.
• Drivers should assist with loading foldable mobility aids when safe and requested.
• Drivers should keep communication professional and respectful.

Feedback and support

Accessibility is ongoing work. If you have feedback or encounter difficulty using our app, website, or service, we want to hear from you.
