Armless man in China denied free metro ride without disability pass, calls for more ‘humanised’ rules
Railway station staff in China who asked an armless man to prove that he was disabled in order to travel for free have sparked a wave of anger on mainland social media.
Li Fengqiang, posted a video of his experience at the entrance of a metro station in Wuhan, central China’s Hubei province, on his Douyin account on March 21.
A member of staff told him he needed to show his government-issued disability pass in order to travel for free on public transport.
Li had forgotten his document and argued he did not need to show proof, but was told by staff that they had to act according to the rules, then offered to pay for Li’s ticket.
