BEIJING, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- Beijing subway staff and volunteers will
provide an integrated help service for the disabled during the Paralympics, said
the Beijing Subway Operation Co. Ltd. on Wednesday.
The company said disabled travelers would be able to call the subway
service center with information on their routes, times of travel and transfer
stations.
The center would then inform stations, which would arrange staff and
volunteers to help the traveler all the way from buying tickets to getting out
of the subway.
The company has installed obstacle-free ramps in each of the 123 stations.
Disabled travelers can leave the stations in lifts, wheelchair elevators and
stairlifts. It has also installed Braille information boards in all stations.
