Recently, this reporter came to the refurbishment of the Jishui Tan Line 2 Metro stations, found that the station transformed, exports are still only three steps and stepped Gunti, not accessible for wheelchairs or special Gunti slopes.

Journalists immediately and field observations of the Metro Line 1, Line 13 and Batong Line part of the station and found that on the 13th line and the Batong Line stations are installed Van vertical lift, can be realized completely wheelchair accessible by car. However, Metro Line No. 1 and 2 stations and Jishui Tan Station, were not available for wheelchair access points separate the barrier-free access.

In view of this situation, the families of persons with disabilities to reporters asked about the identity of the Dongdan subway station a conductor. The conductor said that the disabled must rely on a wheelchair was accompanied by subway, only to encounter step down carrying a wheelchair.
