Wheelchair on jitney #10 Nassau?

[roadtripper]

Anyone know if we can carry a child's wheelchair onto jitney #10 in Nassau? I know that it doesn't have a lift, but will a driver let us carry him on, and then his wheelchair? The w/c doesn't fold up, unfortunately. any advice would be appreciated!

Jitneys are usually packed with riders.. and there's a fold down seat in the aisle just to fit in more people. If it could fold and fit in the entry.. I'd say sure.. but opened up.. I dont think you'll have room for it.

 

However.. taxi's are readily available and quite cheap. I think the trip from the port to cable beach is about $12 for 2.. and $3 for add'l person.

 

Easy to find a van that can accomodate the chair.

I don't know of any off hand. I think someone posted about a year or so ago about finding a private company (not tourist taxi). But I don't remember who that was.
