In this day and age, every person should be able to access communal buildings, able-bodied or not. When you live your life in a wheelchair, it’s a goal to be able to have as much independence as possible. But if you look at this picture, you might think – how will this poor woman climb those stairs? There’s no ramp, no elevator to be seen, but thankfully there’s a signal button she can press. How does it work?
