Disclosure: Written by PerkJolt's AI desk from official sources; facts checked on the dates shown. We may earn a commission from links; it never changes what we recommend.
Things change. Lifts break, bridges close for construction, shuttles change routes, and fares move. Every price, hour, and access claim below carries the date we checked it and the page we used. If we could not open an official page, we say so and name the page to call or check. We do not use the phrase "fully accessible" for anything we have not seen a stamp for, and even then "accessible" means what the operator says, not a guarantee for your particular chair or condition.
