Japan has varying turnstile designs in it’s different cities. For example, Sapporo uses turnstiles that are relatively different from those of New York City. The main difference is that Sapporo’s turnstiles open up like a gate instead of being a turnstile you must push through. Although this is not perfectly ideal to a disabled client (as the turnstiles are also quite narrow), they are far more forgiving to physical exertion than New York City’s. Tokyo has a similar system to Sapporo, but Tokyo has an automated gate, which allows for people to pass with extreme ease without having to push anything. The metro also uses a touchless card to pay, making it easier for handicapped people to pay without having to swipe potentially multiple times like in New York City. Osaka has a near identical system to Tokyo.
