Indeed a check of the Metra home page describes bridge plates presumably deployed by crew. OTOH, for roll on/of suitcases, baby strollers etc, one suspects the plates are not a necessity.FWIW, the height differential alone @ 34th & 6th NB trying to board an R 4x a decade ago w/ my stepdaughter was a challenge. Good thing I was able to shove hard enough to get her "power chair" up the several inches. |
