Hello listeners, I want to discuss a little about some improvements that should be made. At railway stations, the platforms have signs written in Braille which are placed lower down, so people have to bend down to read them on the platform. But what I was discussing is that instead of placing these signs lower on the platform, they should be placed at the point where the stairs to go down are located, because there are two poles (columns) there. The public stays at that spot, and we should make it easier for everyone. If someone tries to touch the pole in the middle of the crowd, people might not like it or might think something else is going on, which is not good. So, my opinion is that when people go up or down the stairs, they naturally hold onto the pole, especially those with less mobility. Therefore, the Braille signs should be placed at the upper part of the pole. Because if the signs are lower down on the platform, people have to keep going up and down unnecessarily, which is not good, especially during crowded times. Someone might misbehave with others in such situations, which we want to avoid. So there should be some change in this system. Otherwise, everything is fine, and the system to identify platforms is very good. But when you climb up to the platform, the signs should be there, not down below where you have to descend the platform. Not everyone can climb up and down easily, especially some people who carry heavy luggage. Going up and down with heavy bags is not convenient. So, if you can read the signs right at the platform entrance, that would be better. If someone wants to go down from the platform, that’s fine, but repeatedly climbing up and down where there are many people is not easy. How can anyone stand comfortably in such a crowd? Some might stand one way, others differently, and it’s hard to say exactly. People might say unpleasant things or behave badly, which is not good for anyone. So, this was my suggestion. Thank you.
