No argument here.Have you been to Buffalo? It has a backwards light rail system: on the street through downtown, then in a tunnel out to the suburbs. It also has a major ADA glitch: trains are two cars long. Underground, both are wheelchair-accessible. Above ground, the high platform only reaches the front car. So if you board the second car underground and ride until the train surfaces, you're trapped. (Passing between cars is impossible, and the train is "fumigated" at the last stop.) I don't recall seeing any signs warning wheelchair passengers of this feature. |
