Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Thu Oct 16 22:17:10 2014, in response to Re: BART's new car: Bombardier mock up at APTA, posted by northshore on Thu Oct 16 21:39:13 2014. Between wheelchairs and bikes seating is limited by physics. As to poles, that is very controversial. I made one of my visits to the mock up w/ friend in chair. She had no complaint about the pole placement near the doors which I find convenient for support when prep'ing to exit. Must say in passing many BART riders seem to think they needn't stand up OR move toward doors until the train has stopped at their station--amateurs! That said there are some in the vocal disability copmmunity who have complained bitterly about the designs, including one who thought color coding the Federally mandated priority seating was discriminatory. The other issue is whether BART will find enough $$ to enlarge the fleet because currently there are not enough cars to properly serve rush hour crowds. |
