No this is an example of how much of a massive pain in the ass it is to be disabled. It demonstrates the importance of elevators and level boarding on trains. No handicapped person wants to wait 10 minutes for an attendant to stroll on over to assist you up a single flight of stairs. Not to mention they have to pray that an attendant is available at their destination to let them off the train. It's very common to hear stories of disabled people getting stuck on trains because an attendant never showed up at their destination. The considerate thing to do would be to install properly accessible amenities. This is really an example of Japan's worst accessible infrastructure, not their best.

Wonderful! My Dad had a private car service business & he had a special platform & seating arrangements made for his work van to accommodate wheelchairs. Back then, wheelchairs didn't fold & most people had to take a stretch limo just to have a place big enough to store their wheelchairs. With my Dad's van, his clients remained seated in their wheelchairs & he strapped the wheels to the floor of the van. Buses in my city use the same type of accommodations that my Dad used.

As a Korean, I often envy these well-equipped convenience systems for the disabled and caring culture of other advanced countries.

Those already exist. They do not turn into a ramp but there are Inclined moving walkways that are flat with an incline and have gripping grooves that can hold a wherlchare or a cart in place. The problem is that any type of ramp requires a mild incline thar requires more space. In general, anything that can turn into something else is problematic as it complicates the mechanism and is more prone to malfunctions. In that specific case it also requires a staf member to accompany the person with the Mobility impairments which is problematic and does not provide real independence. Adding an Elevator and level boarding for transit is the right way to do it as this person can do everything independently without assistant.

That's funny, because when I was in Tokyo I kept being struck by how incredibly inconvenient so much of it was for anybody who wasn't fully able-bodied. In my experience, a lot of Japan is still _much_ further behind a lot of the rest of the world in this regard. It's kinda surprising, and rather sad, to be honest. Even when there's some solution like this somewhere (and this is pretty clearly a one-off or very rare design that is not actually available on most escalators), if you're disabled, you still can't _really_ get around by yourself at all. You always have to ask for help at every step, and then wait around for some able-bodied person to become available to help you, and wait for things to be reconfigured, etc, and probably inconvenience a whole bunch of other people around you (which is extremely embarrassing in Japan), and just getting from one place to another takes many times longer than it arguably should, and is actually often kinda humiliating, because disabled access is really usually an afterthought or an "extra add on", not something that's actually designed in from the start.. And there are also a *lot* of places that are just not accessible at all, period. Sure, one nifty escalator like this in an airport or train station is cool, but what about the 50 businesses as soon as you get off the train and on the street that are on the second or third floor and only have narrow stairwells (and no elevator) to get to them (which is very very common)?

Unfortunately this is not widely used in Japan. I have been in Japan for a long time, and am dumbfounded by how many buildings and public places are not wheelchair accessible. I have a wheelchair bound Japanese friend, and she told me how much easier it was for her to get around in Canada compared to Japan. I live in Tokyo by the way, and while public transport is pretty good, you will see many of the older buildings that are 20 plus years old are not very wheelchair friendly. An easy example is lots of buildings will have stairs that you must walk up first before accessing the elevator on the ground floor.

It's the same in Germany. New restaurants open, and sometimes retail stores, and the restrooms are downstairs in the basement and difficult and dangerous for most people. I am from California and wheelchair access is from what I remember the law. People can sue and do if an establishment doesn't have wheelchair access. Germany's train station elevators ( Freiburg) are sometimes broken and badly located. The problem is finding workers and paying them liveable wages. I was raised, conditioned, in an area , California, that prioritizes people who need assistance. I move to Germany and I notice immediately if a building is difficult to get into with a wheelchair. Even some movie theaters are a disaster with the film showing in the basement. They probably have people who will help and I think the people living in Germany are awesome. Germany is multi culture and I like it.

One thing I can respect in Japan is although the initial infrastructure for the metro wasn’t designed for wheel chair access, over the years the various operators of the lines have spent crazy amounts of money to try and address the problem. One instance near where I lived had them essentially demolish an entire building to dig a large hole to install an elevator. Or in one of the most famous stations called Ebisu, they installed an elevator that rose a mere 80 or so centimetres…. Why they didn’t build a ramp instead baffles me to this day… Also in some of the stations where an elevator installation wouldn’t be possible they have installed little lifts that ride on special rails along side the stairs. They are super slow and require an attendant, but like in this video the good intentions are there, just not very practical.

@Evil.Totoro the trains have improved recently so a wheelchair can roll in without the conductor having to run back and unfold a metal plate. My son works in social services ( social worker) and said Germany is one of the worst countries for people with disabilities. They even treat them differently and don't integrate them into society. Maybe it's why they make access to restaurants difficult. There are restaurants and bakeries and certain companies who hire them for very bad wages. It could get better but there is a lot of discrimination.

*This video is 100% accurate. I live in Japan, and my local train station has this type of escalator. In fact, such escalators and elevators are common across Japan. They are designed to assist wheelchair users and elderly individuals who cannot use escalators or stairs. Japan takes great care to accommodate people of all ages and abilities.

@Fluxwux

Ай бұрын

Unfortunately Japan is very far behind other developed countries in accessibility and many are rude and look down on disabled people that are in many ways excluded from society. In Japan the law is nowhere near as strict regarding accesible urban planning and construction. Lots of older buildings and several train stations have ZERO elevators or ramps and completely exclude disabled people. Something that would be unthinkable in Western Europe, Canada and many US states where it’s literally the law to provide these things. Which also runs a lot smoother because there is never a need to call for help, because elevators, ramps and automatic extended floors on trains covering the platform gap is just part of the urban planning. Needing to wait minutes and call an employee for help makes disabled people feel like a burden and less independent, not to mention that simple tasks such as catching a train or going up a floor takes several times longer than for regular people.

@@NR12345-x Blud thinks he has been to every station in a huge country lol. For proving that something does not hold, it is however sufficient to give you one example where the condition does not hold; I have been to Kyoguchi station in Himeji, this station does not have an elevator. This is the only station where I got on/off that would need one but does not have one. But my guess is that this is not the only station in all of Japan :)

@@jonasklein7260 yeah my mistakes then, I have never been to one and I've been traveling to many big cities like frequently too when i studied there. Kyoguchi station is an old and small station i guess then, maybe they don't have it in other rural areas too as they are mostly old stations. I studied for 1+ years in kobe and another year in yokohama and never came across any either way. Himeji isn't that far from kobe too, never been to that station, maybe you're right then my mistakes 👍

Thanks for slowing down everyone's day instead of the usual elevator that works just fine.

Normal: people take escalator, no one uses elevator so it's always available for wheelchairs and strollers etc. This stupid idea: everyone waits for the attendant, everyone waits for special button to be pushed, everyone waits for the platform, everyone waits for the safe guards to come up, everyone waits for the chair to be brought to the top. Fun times.

Its super impressive to see all the boards and coordination of getting on and off trains

Japanese people and culture have such a respectful way of thinking about others. I think its just beautiful. Thank you to them. ❤

I pray that every company that make these incorporate this technology to every escalator they make.

Japan is just next level. They really are such considerate people. I love this ❤

First guy really didn’t want to wait for someone to help him 😂

I’m pretty sure in literally any building I’ve been to where there are escalators, there are also elevators nearby.

This is wonderful! Especially if the building could not retrofit an elevator. Great solution.

The bus people be like "Bro's already been through it. He doesn't need to wait"

The issue with have an elevator is, people, despite not being disabled, would still use it. Making it harder for people with wheelchairs to be able to. Plus it's not very cost effective

Japan is on a whole different level of respect. 💯

Nah the first guy is like "Fine. I'll do it myself"

Japan is a whole new world with all the technology they have is something right out of a science fiction movie, I stayed in Tokyo on my way back from Australia and I was so in awe, its such an incredible experience.

In the USA if there is a escalator in a business then there is requirement to be an elevator fairly close by. You do not need to find a attentant to use it either.

There's nothing wrong with having more options. It's like saying, why have escalators at all when lifts exist. Also lifts seem to break all the time (or atleast whenever I need them) so it's great to have another way of getting up! Sorry we're so much hassle for you!

Hopefully the attendant comes quicker then the attendant at CVS when you want to buy anything from behind a locked door..like laundry detergent 😂

Such a thoughtful design.❤

Old fashioned elevator would work too.

That's wonderful! They should be everywhere, not just in Japan

Absolute genius! They found a solutions that doesn’t cost as much as tearing the whole structure down to rebuild an accommodation. ❤❤❤

Japan systems work! Absolutely precious

Hear me out Japan: ELEVATORS

Bless such aspects of such a country. Strong man.

Isn’t this why we have elevators? Every store I went to with an escalator always had elevators.

The Japanese really do have their sh*t figured out. They really do. Even at Shjjuku station in Tokyo, the largest train and subway station on Earth, where 3.6 million people pass through it's fare-gates every single day... Nobody is rude, nobody is pushy, nobody acts entitled, everyone just politely waits their turn and goes about their day. It's really amazing to watch.

In France there are elevators near automatic staircases for people with disabilities. Imo far better system since you don’t depend on other people.

Why not just install a lift?

I mean you could wait for an attendant to help or you could help yourself like the first guy. That was epic, probably terrifying for the people behind him tho.

Thru my time in japan (tokyo,kyoto and osaka), it is not quite perfectly implemented but they do try their best to accomodate such facility. Big props to japan
