During
my last few days in Bangkok, was really happy and amazed to see the
elder friendly transport and infrastructure facilities available there
for promotion of active ageing. This is something which is very strongly
recommended by Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing for
promotion of well-being in old age.
I seriously wish and hope that someday elder friendly transport facilities through buses and trains (especially local trains in Mumbai) and infrastructure facilities like lifts, ramps and toilets for the convenience of elderly at railway stations, hospitals, government offices, malls and other public places may be available in India in most of the places for the promotion of active and healthy ageing.
Point to Reflect: In what ways our transport system can be made more elder friendly?
