Keighley Town Council has been asked to support a campaign to stop minicab firms discriminating against disabled customers.
Keighley disability group People First claims some firms are charging higher fares for people in wheelchairs.
People First representatives Omar Sardar and Tom Walsh presented a petition to the council’s watch and transport committee.
They said some firms charged double the amount they charged able-bodied people, because wheelchair users were forced to use bigger, adapted vehicles. Mr Walsh said in one instance he had been charged £80 for two return trips to Bradford.
Committee members said they needed more information and, following further investigation will invite Mr Sardar and Mr Walsh to return to a future meeting.
They will also invite Keighley Conservative MP Kris Hopkins.
