Wheelchair boarding slopes on Mita Line platforms

There are slopes on the platforms in front of carriage doors at Mita Line stations, to facilitate wheelchair access. In principle, these slopes are situated by the second and fifth carriages at the door near the wheelchair-designated areas. For safety reasons, however, this cannot be done in stations where the platform curve results in a gap of more than 10 centimeters between train and platform.
On the Oedo Line, we have completed the introduction of boarding slopes at all stations. The slopes are situated at all doors near the wheelchair-designated areas of the fourth and fifth carriages.

Portable wheelchair ramps

Portable wheelchair ramps, which allows users to board / leave trains at any point of the platform, are available at all Toei Subway stations. Please contact the nearest station staff when you wish to use.

Elevators and escalators

We have elevators and escalators connecting platform levels with ticket gate levels and ticket gate levels with the ground level. We have already completed installing elevators at all subway stations to provide at least one barrier free route between ground level, ticket gate level and platform level.
