At the moment, there is a limited pool of accessible taxis that are often seconded to regular runs when there is no need for an accessible van. From personal experience, and depending where the accessible taxis have been deployed for either an accessible run a regular run, this could mean double or triple the regular wait for a taxi. Worst case was a wait for nearly an hour for an accessible taxi.
The challenge with the accessible taxis is that if there are too many, there are not enough accessible-specific rides for those drivers to keep busy, so they end up accepting regular customers. I don't know what the best solution here is.
