In order to implement a firm approach to enhancing accessibility to public transportation facilities for persons with special needs, the Ministry of Transportation (“
Ministry”) has issued Regulation
No. PM 98 of 2017 on the Provision of Accessibility to Public-Transportation Services for Consumers with Special Needs (“
Regulation 98/2017”).
Prior to the issuance of Regulation 98/2017, these same matters were already regulated under Ministry Decree
No.KM. 71 of 1999 on Accessibility to Transportation Facilities and Infrastructure for Persons with Disabilities and Sicknesses (“
Regulation 71/1999”), which has now been deemed no longer able to meet the current needs of public transportation consumers with special needs (“
Special Needs Passengers”).
