A Wheelchair-Bound Woman Fell While Trying to Board Amman’s BRT Buses
A surprising and unfortunate moment unfolded in Amman when an elderly woman in a wheelchair tried to board one of the city’s shiny new BRT buses. The scene quickly caught the attention of bystanders and social media, sparking conversations about accessibility and public transport safety.
A regrettable scene played out in Sweileh
The incident happened in the bustling Sweileh district, where the city’s rapid transit buses, marked with BRT Rapid Transit, have become a symbol of modern Amman. As the bus’s accessibility ramp extended, the woman approached in her electric wheelchair, ready to board. But things didn’t go as planned. The wheelchair struggled for grip on the ramp, and in a split second, it rolled backward, causing the woman to tumble out onto the pavement.
Bystanders reacted quickly
This incident sparked a wave of discussion across Amman and beyond. Residents and advocates began to ask: how can public transport be made safer and more accessible for everyone? The city’s rapid transit system is a leap forward, but scenes like this remind us that progress is a journey, not a destination. With more attention to the needs of all riders, Amman’s buses can become a true symbol of inclusion and care.
