    I'm not sure if it's the case in all stations but at least some, if the attendants notice you on a wheelchair they have a little ramp that they will drop between the platform and the train so you can easily cross. They might even ask where you will be getting out so they can call the station ahead.

      The funny thing is, I learnt this right at the end of my trip! So funny

      Actually, you notify at the ticket gate and they communicate with station service staff via their system (they carry IPad-like train/subway network communication device) and they know your route so they will be waiting for you(know what cart you’re riding) and guide you through transit and provide ramp where it’s needed etc.

    Just found your channel and already binge watched several videos. I’ve learned so much that I am now a subscriber. I have a feeling your channel will be very successful as you appear very engaging, kind, and funny (and being quite handsome doesn’t hurt either)! Best of luck on your travels!

    What an unusual perspective on travel videos. As a non wheelchair using person, I'd never really thought about it. . I would be curious if at some point you could make a definitive statement as to the worlds most wheelchair accommodating country.

      I will definitely share my thoughts on which country or countries are the most accessible in time.
      Thank you for enjoying my content!

      @@WHEEL_AROUND_THE_WORLD So far I likes the trip on the train and I love the fact you saw the mountain and how the people are towards you. The culture and history and the horse ride. I love everything, one place I really want to go. Im in a wheelchair so it really helps to watch all this. x
