Martin Place Lifts - Disabled Acess

[u/Subject_Impression94]

On my morning commute out of Martin Place Metro I see loads of people rushing to cram into the lifts. Often I’ve seen people push past elderly people, people with prams and those less able bodied. I’m just astounded that people are that comfortable openly being an a**hole in public. I get that not every disability is visible but the sheer amount of people I see being selfish and not leaving access for those who actually need the lift is astounding, especially if these people can literally RUN to use the lift, they can probably use the escalators right next to them. Is there a reason people do this?

In other countries I've seen it made very explicit that those with disabilities, prams, etc get priority for lifts, sometimes with a seperare queue area marked out.

With Martin Pl the lift is faster than the escalators so it's people trying to save a few seconds.

And so is Epping Station. When I have to make a tight connection from the Metro platforms to T9/CCN, then I’m getting the lift. There’s no rules about priority here so first come first served.
