1/1 The new Sergeli metro line in #Tashkent turned out to be not fully accessible for passengers with reduced mobility. It is poorly integrated into the urban infrastructure says Farkhad Abdurakhmanov from the Association of Disabled People. @Dana_Oparina

1/2 There is no special parking place for vehicles of disabled people near the new metro station. However, the new Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities requires to create additional parking spaces for them with a special sign ♿️ https://www.gazeta.uz/ru/2018/03/13/parking/
1/3 🛗The elevator is a bit far from the station. There are buttons in Braille inside but not tactile paving which leads to the elevator. Farkhad aka had to wait for >15 minutes until a technician opened the elevator. It is usually locked at many stations. How can others use it?
1/4 🎢 Roller-coaster for disabled people - narrow ramps with a steep slope leading from the residential area to the metro. Accessible housing was built for disabled and low-income families in Sergeli. How can they access the new metro station through this roller-coaster?!
1/5 👩‍🦯🧑‍🦯Tactile paving for blind and visually impaired people at the Kuyluk metro line is already destroyed (on the left) and another type of paving on the new Sergeli line (on the right). Shouldn't be there some standards of tactile paving at each station?
