Electric Train Not Up To The Mark With Disabled Friendly Features

FROM ANTHONY SIVA BALAN THANASAYAN'S FACEBOOK PAGE: 

DURING MBPJ'S International PJ Fair last month, I grabbed the opportunity to test out the electric bus that was available for demonstration during the event. Although it boasted to be wheelchair-friendly, I found that out to be only half-true when I personally tested out the public transport vehicle. 

Not only did I find some of the features cumbersome, but it also raised several safety issue concerns for wheelchair-travellers and their caregivers. 

Details of that - and more pictures soon. — at MBPJ.
