A lack of adequate elevators at MRT Blue Line. PWDs must take a long darkish detour.

MRT
Phet-cha-bu-ri
Station, besides the insufficiency of elevators from the ground floor, the ticketing floor and the platform floor are also found nowhere for its existence. Normal-condition people are criticizing that using escalator make them a bit detour and that they’re unwillingly and unlikely to use it. Now let’s take a perspective from PWDs when we have to just get on the train. I, on my wheelchair, have to go to another side of the road and, unwanted, require asking a staff for accompanying. The staff will then walk me go through a special area, It’s kind of a room reserved for staff only. It looks so dark, scary, and has a long walkway. I have to pass through this to reach the ticket machine area. Every time I commute at this station, I would always take this privilege, be brought to the room.

It’s always more difficult when you try to fix what has been already built. An obvious example regarding this is BTS. What mistakes they could learn from and how much of great damage the city, or country, are suffering by their non-deliberate decision.

MRT has been open for services for 20 years. That’s long! Its executives and management team had publicly delivered a promise for better accessibility on their services. But so far, it is precise that they heavily lacked execution, a real action, for any outstanding improvements to achieve what they had promised.
