    I know you’re making a joke but actually all the protected bike lanes makes it really easy and nice for mobility scooters to get around here

      My wife uses a power chair (cerebral palsy) and we love going to Amsterdam as it’s so easy to ride around.

      Paris is also very good for disabled visitors but for a different reason: a great bus network that supports chairs (but the metro is gated by stairs)

        The Seoul metro has level boarding and like a 2 inch gap, I’ve seen old folks drive their scooters right on.

        The buses aren’t though.

        Lived in Paris for 40 years: buses, sure, but sidewalks? buildings? Always thought it must be hell for chair users.
