Reply To: Wheelchair gaps on train/subway cars
Hi I found website of Tokyo metro subway about wheelchair space in train.
https://www.kotsu.metro.tokyo.jp/subway/kanren/barrierfree.html
This site explain Mita and Oedo line fix wheelchair space.
And also there are gap information between home and train.
On the other hand, traveler using wheelchair tell me that sometime JR forget to support to set slope.
As that time, she tell people nearby help getting off when arrive station.
Someone may help.
It may not perfect, but I hope it will help .
