LRT Accessible Ramps
All Capital and Metro Line LRT train cars are equipped with an accessible ramp which can be found at the middle doorway on either side of the car. The bright yellow ramps are designed to improve access from the station platform to the car for people with limited mobility. The accessible doorway is marked with a large wheelchair decal and has a large, round, lit button on each side of the door, just below the standard access button.
The height of the platform compared to the floor of the LRT car can vary from station to station, and the ramp is designed to line up with the platform. For older train cars, the curve of the stanchion in the doorway has been reduced and there are bench seats at the centre of the car. The newer train cars have no stanchion in the doorways and have well-marked priority seating areas immediately adjacent to the accessible doorways.
For the Valley Line Southeast, these low-floor trains offer sidewalk-level boarding on and off the train at all stops and stations. There is no step up or down. Trains have designated priority seating near the doors for seniors, persons with disabilities, persons with mobility aids, pregnant individuals and those travelling with children.
