ACCESSIBILITY THAT NEVER WORKS

IS NOT GOOD POLICY

These ineffective & ableist wheelchair stair climbers should come with a sign that says “permanently out of order” in dozens of languages. 99% never function.

Disability access by checkmark NEVER works.

Involve people with disabilities in planning + architecture.

The solution is to build a turn ramp or elevator. Putting in something that never works = treating people with disabilities like second class citizens.

Many subways have only broken stair climbers — rendering essential transit off limits to wheelchair users.
