There are currently about 85 million disabled people in our country. What is the difficulty in barrier-free travel in cities?

There are now 85 million disabled people in our country. It is difficult to travel without barriers in cities. Some institutions in society, under the banner of caring for disabled people, have not really implemented some transportation facilities to help disabled people. . Some traffic and road equipment and facilities are in name only and do not have much effect. For example, our common toilets have special seats for disabled people, but this is of little practical significance. On the contrary, it is an obstacle for some disabled people. But no one among the designers realizes this. They design randomly, and some are completely unreasonable. This is a common phenomenon in society! Another example is the motor vehicle lane. There are no blind lanes or disabled lanes on both sides of the service roads. It is completely impossible. Furthermore, ordinary buses are inconvenient for disabled people to get on, not to mention that the comfort of taking a bus for disabled people simply does not exist.

Although there are some facilities on the buses, I have not seen any city with buses for the disabled. If there are buses, there are only about one, and this number alone is not enough. But considering that in a country as big as ours, it is indeed very inconvenient for disabled people to travel without barriers. It is not only related to the institutions of this society, but most importantly to the quality of citizens. Often the squatting seats for disabled people in public toilets are broken, but I have never seen any maintenance personnel repair them. I never thought that disabled people might use special facilities. All the slogans about caring for disabled people are like decorations.

Secondly, some of the equipment and roads designed by the agency for disabled people do not seem to take into account the actual conditions of disabled people. Then it is naturally not very convenient for them to travel. If it is not convenient for them to travel, they might as well stay at home. In addition to the low quality of citizens and the roads and equipment for disabled people designed by agency personnel, the cost investment for agencies is also huge. For example, the cost of driving an independent bus for disabled people in the city is also very high, so some organizations are unwilling to invest more money to improve the difficulty of traveling for disabled people. Finally, labor costs are also very important. Equipment and facilities for disabled people require the assistance of normal people, so it is conceivable that the labor costs are also very high!

Therefore, the problem of urban accessibility for more than 80 million disabled people in my country has not been effectively solved. This is an important issue that deserves the attention of our entire society. Don't talk about caring for the disabled instead of implementing it in our actual lives. Then no matter how much we do, it will be in vain. After all, disabled people enjoy social conveniences equally like us ordinary people. As long as it is convenient for disabled people to travel and the city is barrier-free, then we can go one step further in building a harmonious society!
