Is Delhi Metro Accessible for the Persons with Disabilities?

Delhi Metro project started in 1990s with an aim of creating a world class metro railway network in Delhi. At that time, I wondered if Delhi Metro will be made accessible for the persons with disabilities? Delhi’s public transport system was very unfriendly for the persons with disabilities. However, I have been pleasantly surprised to see that the Delhi Metro has always kept accessibility in mind. Metro stations and trains provide a number of facilities that make travel easier for persons with disabilities.

In this article, we will see what facilities Delhi Metro provides to make the whole network accessible for everyone.

Delhi Metro Accessibility: Elevators are Available

A number of Delhi Metro stations are equipped with elevators (lifts) which can be used by persons with disabilities to reach at the platforms. Even better thing is that mostly these elevators are found to be functional! So, you can easily get your wheelchair inside the lift and reach the desired level / platform.

These lifts are meant for the exclusive use by the persons with disabilities and elderly. However, you may find other people also using the elevators. Also, sometimes, insensitive vehicle users park their vehicles at the accessible entrance; thereby blocking the access. You should complain about such hurdles to the Metro staff.

Delhi Metro Accessibility: Facilities Inside Elevators

Way to elevators are properly marked. See the list given at the end of this article to find out station gates with elevators. Elevators have rails inside to help wheelchair users. Elevator buttons are marked with embossed signs as well as Braille. Audio notifications are also played.

Delhi Metro Accessibility: Extra-Wide Flap Gates for Entry

Flap gates have been installed to regulate the entry of passengers on to the platform. These gates can be opened extra-wide to allow wheelchairs through.

Delhi Metro Accessibility: Wheelchairs are Available

Wheelchairs are available at every station for those who need one. You can contact the Customer Care Counter to get assistance. These counters are located near the entrance of the station.

Tactile Pathways for Persons with Visual Impairment

On station floors tactile pathways have been made to help guide the persons with visual impairment. These paths are made of bright yellow tiles with tiny bumps and ridges on it. Visually impaired people can feel the path by touching cane on these projections. Bright color of the path helps people with low vision to better see the paths. These paths do lead people right to the places like ticket counters, toilets, platforms etc.

Level Platforms with Train Floor

The train floor and the platform are in level. Thus a wheelchair can be easily rolled into the coaches. There is a gap of few inches between train and platform. The passengers should mind this gap as small front wheels of a wheelchair may get stuck in this gap.

Accessible Toilets at Metro Stations

All metro stations are equipped with accessible toilets. These toilets are well maintained. Frequent cleaning is carried out. these toilets have wide doors, low height commodes and handrails etc.

Hand Rails Along the Stairs

All the stair cases inside metro stations are lined with hand rails. These railings are very helpful for elderly and persons with visual impairment who would want to use stairs instead of an elevator.

Proper Signage for All the Facilities for Persons with Disabilities

You will find well lit signage at appropriate places to inform you about various facilities like elevator, entry, exit and accessible toilets etc.

Reserved Seating

Seating space has been reserved for persons with disabilities and elderly people. There are wheelchair parking spaces inside every coach. You can safely park your wheelchair in these spaces.

Ramps

Ramps have been installed in metro stations wherever surface level changes. Ramps have been made according to standards.

General Tips Regarding Delhi Metro Accessibility

It should be noted that in peak hours metro stations (especially at the interchanges) could be very crowded. Peak hours in Delhi Metro run from 8:00am to 12:00pm and 5:00pm to 9:00pm.

Following table informs you about the availability of elevator at each Delhi metro station. You should reference it before planning your journey on Delhi Metro.

Although stations do have lifts, it is not always clear where the lift is or even once you’re inside, which lift goes to which platform. In order to enter the station you have to go through security which involves going up a step and the guards do not seem to know how to let you go around, which is always a huge hassle. Some stations have a wider gate, but many do not, and finding someone to let you in/out and take you way around to where you can get in/out is stressful and frustrating. The disabled bathrooms are often locked and the attendant won’t always open them. Some are so small you can’t get a walker or wheelchair inside anyway.
