AKARTA: City commuter train operator PT KAI Commuter Jabodetabek (KCJ) has committed to improving access for passengers with disabilities at stations and on trains.

KCJ spokeswoman Eva Chairunisa said that beginning early this year, the company had provided wheelchairs at all stations in the capital along with ramp facilities and manual gates at 21 stations. The facilities are hoped to help disabled passengers access stations and trains.

Eva added that KCJ had equipped 38 stations with information boards that allowed passengers with hearing impairments to access train route information. For visually impaired passengers, the company provides regular audio announcements at stations.

'€œWe will improve the services gradually to provide sufficient access for all passengers, including those with disabilities,'€ Eva said on Friday, adding that disabled passengers could also ask for assistance from security officers assigned at the stations and trains.
