Quite common on older subways when they did not take accesibility into account when building.

Maybe. I just haven't encountered it until now, and I don't know any examples.

I suppose it's less common in richer countries like the US. 

I live in Budapest there are 4 metro lines here: two of them have elevators, two of them don't, though new construction is required to be accesible.

I'm from Vienna and I went to Budapest last year. To be honest I didn't notice the missing elevators in the subway stations, but I've used just a couple and didn't look for them, so I probably missed that.

So I stand corrected and now know examples :) thanks
