But yeah, on difficulty, I'm not thinking about a normal person here. I'm talking about the infirm. Basically I'm saying that design criteria can be tightened slowly over time. Why not? It'd make it easier for the wheelchair bound.
(I'm sure I could manage 3 feet no problems. But that's not the point)
I'm talking about criteria for new stations also, not upgrading all existing stops.

actually LIRR and MTA have special ramps to bridge large gaps since most trains do have gaps that cannot easily be traversed by those in wheelchairs.
