IS TRAIN TRAVEL A WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY

ALTERNATIVE TO FLYING OR DRIVING?


People with neuromuscular diseases and other disabilities may enjoy less hassle and a more inclusive ride on trains. 

Seasoned travelers point out that a regional train ride of two to four hours is just as expedient as a one-hour flight because a flight includes early arrival, security screening, and an uncomfortable boarding process involving transfers between their personal wheelchair, an aisle chair, and the plane seat. 

Even for long-distance routes, accessible sleeper cars can make train travel more inclusive.
