Cathay Express Transportation/ Ambulette

Handicapped transportation services play a quiet but vital role in Upper Manhattan. Cathay Express Transportation/Ambulette provides door-to-door rides for those who need extra assistance—wheelchair-accessible vans, stretcher transport, and medical-appointment shuttles are part of the routine. The service operates from 400 E 85th St Apt 12d, New York, NY 10028, a building that blends into the neighborhood’s pre-war residential fabric.

Yorkville’s sidewalks hum with daily life, and for many residents, reliable ambulette service means the difference between isolation and mobility. Cathay Express handles everything from dialysis trips to airport transfers, always with the same low-key efficiency. No frills, just rides that start when they’re supposed to and end where they should.

Call (212) 261-5555 to arrange a pickup; the dispatcher will ask for a few details and confirm the vehicle’s arrival time. For directions, pull up the map on your phone—it’s the quickest way to see how close you are to the pickup point. Neighbors say it’s the kind of service you only notice when it’s not there.
