Episode Details

When Daniel moved apartments in Tel Aviv, a borrowed platform trolley turned his familiar neighborhood into an obstacle course. That accidental discovery reveals a global gap between accessibility laws and real-world usability. From the ADA's complaint-driven enforcement to Japan's missing elevator connections and Barcelona's superblocks, this episode explores why technical compliance doesn't equal functional access — and how a simple trolley test exposes failures that affect wheelchair users, parents with strollers, delivery workers, and anyone pushing weight on wheels.
