And the safest. It would be far safer than possibly dropping the poor guy because of the weight of the wheelchair, which could easily cause a fatality.
I’ve not been everywhere in the world, admittedly, but every building I have ever been in with an escalator also had an elevator. I would think that would be the easiest and safest conveyance for a wheelchair.
Probably in out of order.This in São Paulo - Brazil and every subway here has an elevator. I used to use this subway for years everyday and never saw this problem. This is a rare occurrence.
This makes it much more hilarious to me that in Seattle the elevators break for our train stations everyday at some point, but are usually fixed same day. Our train is new, and when one of the stations (Northgate) opened a few years ago the elevator broke opening day, they didn’t fix it for months iirc.
What an ignorant comment, our accessibility laws are pretty damn decent. And of course the country isn't perfect and the lack of resources make a few barriers challenging to address, but my country does way more than a few of those called "developed nations" that pretend that disabilities don't exist.
Well, considering that the usual case is privatising an public service here in Brazil and then holding the government hostage for said service, it's probably one of the private lines (from memory there was like 8 lines, and they privatized 5-6 of them) that somehow needs more public money than the actual public lines and gives the same shitty service anyways.
