Reply To: Wheelchair gaps on train/subway cars
Josh is correct, there’s no simple solution to the location of the wheelchair space. What I found was that if there were no signs on the platform barriers look on the platform edge to see if there’s a strip of black rubber extending it for easier access. This isn’t the perfect answer but it’ will at least make it easier to get on board. We did find on some lines in Tokyo that there was more than one company operating trains so we had the issue you are having.
