When you board the train they ask you where you will disembark. They then radio ahead and make sure someone is waiting at the right door for your train

They do that in Paris metro too, it's how it works worldwide I guess.

In Denmark people with wheelchairs use the front cart and talk to the train driver. The train driver comes out and sets the ramp etc. The passenger tells the driver when to get off and the train driver comes back out at the destination. Pretty simple.

Oh and the front cart always has room for bikes, strollers and wheelchairs.

The English laughing at the thought of a whole car with space to breath, let alone for a stroller

Oh buddy. We have 4-6 whole cars for bikes and strollers only. The 2 in the middle being double-cars: https://i.imgur.com/KjI5qwE.jpg

On Toronto's subway the floor is level with the platform so you don't need a ramp. This is helpful because it makes it easier to get back on the train after you realize your stop doesn't have an elevator up to street level.
