@notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com @danbrotherston@types.pl @BicycleDutch@mastodon.social Instead of elevators each platform should have a ramp.
For major stations I think of a prefab concrete ramp that gets buried under the tracks and another that connects to it and gets buried in the platform.
Building it would not have to interrupt the regular schedule on that track for more than one night.
It is a bit of an investment initially but afterwards it doesn't need the maintenance of an elevator. No moving parts.

@rrustema020@mastodon.nl @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com @danbrotherston@types.pl @BicycleDutch@mastodon.social In Switzerland those ramps in stations are common. Very convenient for all travellers, including the ones with heavy suitcases or the ones with fully packed bikes.
