Reply To: Tokyo Hop-on / Hop-off wheelchair accessability
Hi again
So…. they have two types of busses. The main type is a coach bus with steps up to the upper deck and no wheelchair seating.
They have a new bus type that has a wheelchair seat on the lower deck. However, they currently have only 2 in all of Tokyo. So, you would need to wait for the newer buses (if you cannot climb the steps) for who knows how long… On top of that due to maintenance schedules etc, they don’t have a set timetable for those buses and you would need to call the office on the day-of to get the schedule.
When I asked about the scooter on the accessible bus, they were unsure if you could ride it on due to space needed for turning, but folding it and taking it on would be fine if you couldn’t get on at first try.
Hope this helps!
