CHThe article discusses efforts in the Swiss city of Olten to improve accessibility for people with limited mobility through the introduction of mobile ramps. Ten local businesses now offer these ramps, which can be called for at the store window and deployed by staff. While the initiative aims to enhance independence for individuals using wheelchairs, rollators, or strollers, challenges remain. Testers like Linda Halter, a wheelchair user and initiator of the project, note that the ramps require significant physical effort and are not suitable for all entrances, particularly those with stairs. The city manager acknowledges limitations, stating some steps cannot be overcome with the ramps. Although similar initiatives exist elsewhere, such as in Zurich and Solothurn, there has been limited demand for the service, suggesting ongoing barriers to full accessibility.
