100% Stockholm metro
100% Stockholm commuter train

It is possible.
% of subway stations with elevators (step free access)

33% - London
30% - NYC
14% - Paris

While systems like BART and Melbourne are completely accessible, we have so much work to do to get our transit infrastructure fully accessible in aggregate.

After 2 weeks visiting the US, I can really relate to this. As a professional planner with experience of scandinavian design it was mind boggling. In the end I could only point and laugh, but I was just sad. And there were so many (for me obvious) simple redesigns possible...
Ever wonder why so many streets in North America feel chaotic, dangerous, and ugly? They're not streets or roads, they're 'stroads.'
