Congratulation to School of Communications Art students, Rang-sit University, who successfully held a seminar on a topic of ‘When Bangkok Metro Train is opportunity. How could we make it accessible for everyone?’

It all began when the students contacted me via this FB Page and asked some information and insight for conducting their university project, assigned by their lecturer.

There is sometimes I need to use a restroom when I take a ride on MRT blueline. I have been traveling by using the metro train for very long ago. Just like you, there are some times I need to use a restroom in urgency. Well, but the disabled restroom is always closed while the rest are all open freely. There is always a sign stating that “Out of service. Sorry for any inconveniences.” I don’t know what is the logic behind this but it’s such an incredibly wrongdoing.
