This week Simon and Martina talk about how accessible Japan's transit system is. A friend of the EYK duo, is visiting them in Japan and she uses a mobility aid at times. Simon and Martina have noticed what it's like getting around on public transport in Japan when you need assistance - phenomenally well (from their experience so far). When catching a train, there's a ramp set up so you avoid the gap when boarding, and when you arrive at your destination the train staff have called ahead; they know what train car you're in and are waiting at your station to set up a ramp for departure. There's an amazing elevator system too. It's seamless, and once again shows how helpful and respectful Japanese people are.
