of escalator adapted wheelchair
Since 21st century, Japan
have many in public space specially train stations. When a
wheelchair user comes, the train staff stop the escalator and
operate the button. 3 flat board come after a while and ride on
it. Electric wheelchair users also can use it. Some manual
wheelchair do not use it because it takes a time (3-5 min
/each), need to call the staff, and normal passengers cannot use
during this operation. This escalator is not the best solution,
but it is a good option if no space to make a lift.
