The court ruled that long-distance transportation companies must guarantee the delivery of free tickets to people with disabilities and their companions, in compliance with current legislation.
The decision seeks to ensure the right to access public transportation without discrimination.
The ruling responds to complaints made by passengers with disabilities who faced obstacles in obtaining the tickets established by the Law No. 22,431 and the Law No. 25,635 which stipulate that these tickets are free as part of a social inclusion scheme.
“Companies must comply with their legal obligation and ensure that people with disabilities can move without barriers,” the court highlighted in its resolution.
Failure details
- Companies are required to reserve a minimum of two seats for service for people with disabilities.
- Accompanying persons also have the right to free passage when necessary, as evidenced by the disability certificate.
- There are economic sanctions for companies that fail to comply with these regulations.
The measure not only reinforces the rights of people with disabilities, but also promotes greater oversight by the competent authorities to guarantee compliance.
Organizations that work to defend these rights celebrate the ruling, underscoring its importance in building a more inclusive and accessible transportation system.
