Accessibility

Many buses and all trams reserve space for wheelchair passengers. Foldout seats in the wheelchair access area can be used by all passengers, but should be vacated if a wheelchair passenger boards the bus.

Trains are equipped with ramps at the front-most entrance to enable wheelchair passengers to board.

As a courtesy, passengers should offer their seat to elderly, pregnant, or any passenger who looks like they could use a seat.
