Exhausting. If everyone spent one day, just one experiencing the world from a wheelchair. Change would be imminent.

it's so sad because this is doable. Sweden and Denmark were accessible literally everywhere on oublic transit.

As a New Yorker I’ve often wondered how wheelchairs are expected to navigate in these hostile environments

Not as bad, but I have back injuries that make stairs difficult. An elevator would be so much easier, but I simply gave up because 27% is appalling

Only after navigating the subway with a stroller did I truly understand how frustrating it must be for our friends in wheelchairs. It’s so frustrating

This is so accurate my sister uses a walker that my mom pushes & she gets so scared of the cracks or bumps very accurate they have fallen due to this a couple times my mom included. They just got an electric wheelchair took a while to get but the last one they had was so heavy

Trying to convince my husband who’s in a chair also to try getting out because he doesn’t realize that he can go to some places but not others

Accessibility is so necessary because it is more of a process when your disabled to get around & if you don’t have a caretaker you have no one to rely on 🥺
