Wheelchair Accessible Taxis in Stockholm
Stockholm has carried out extensive works to improve accessibility at their transportation network for people with disabilities.

Safety and Complaints for Stockholm Taxis
Sweden is a very safe place to travel, but the taxi industry in Stockholm does not have the best reputation. Since drivers can charge as much as they want, there have been reports of astronomical tariffs. While things may have improved, it would be wise to ask the driver for an approximate fare before entering the vehicle or call a taxi company and request a fixed price. If you still believe you have been overcharged, contact the local police as soon as possible.
