About YDATS

How we got here and where we're going

The Owner

Hello, my name is James McCann. I am the co-founder and director of YDATS. I would like to start by telling you little bit about myself and how I co-founded YDATS and why its important. 16 years ago, my mother was diagnosed with Front Temporal Dementia. This kind of Dementia gave her a lot of pain to walk so she was in a wheelchair most of the time and trying to organize a disabled taxi to get her to appointments was a nightmare.

One day at my 9-5 job, I heard that the Western Australian Government was offering a Cadetship for owner/drivers for disabled taxis. So, I gave up my 9-5 job, got myself a van, kitted it out with everything I would need and took the Government up on their Cadetship. I did this so people like my mum get to their appointments on time and get back into society.

In the time I have been driving disabled taxis, I have won the W.A. Access Taxi Driver of the Year 2010 for outstanding services for the disabled community. I have driven a lot of customers in the many years I have been doing this work, and a lot of them have become great friends. I hope that maybe one day, we will become friends too.  Thank you so much for reading about our company, and I look forward in hearing from you and let us help with all your transport needs.

How YDATS is different from other companies. when you advanced book a taxi with us, that booking time and date is locked into one of our vehicles and you are provided with a driver number and name, so you know who is picking you up.
