We updated Metro4All application with the accessibility data for Warsaw metro system , added Polish language support and made a lot of other improvements.
Now residents and visitors of the Polish capital are able to see how many obstacles they will encounter on each route through the subway and choose the most accessible one.
A few statistical outcomes from the data collcted in Warsaw:
– total number of routes – 304 (152 entrance routes and 152 exit routes);
– total number of elevators – 64;
– number of routes equipped with elevators – 200 (66% of total number);
– average number of steps for a route – 50;
