I refer to the report, “ New SBS Transit programme helps wheelchair users navigate routes with travel buddies as guides
I applaud SBS Transit for helping wheelchair users navigate travel routes.
As our society ages, more seniors may have walking difficulties and require a wheelchair. Private-hire transport is expensive for wheelchair users.
We should make Singapore a more wheelchair-friendly society.
We can start with some of the MRT stations that the elderly frequent such as Chinatown MRT station. The station’s exit D leading to People’s Park Centre does not have a lift or wheelchair ramp.
Small changes in our environment can make a big difference in the life of the elderly. Let’s make Singapore a more accessible country.
