Wijkersloot tram stop in Nieuwegein is difficult to reach with a wheelchair: ‘Unfortunately I am not a Tarzan’

Wijkersloot tram stop in Nieuwegein is difficult to reach with

Yes, there is a footbridge from Erik Roza’s residential area to the tram, but that is quite a climb. Panting, he jerks the wheels of his wheelchair again and again. It’s ok on the flatter parts, but it’s hard work in the steeper corners. “I still have good arm muscles, but you really have to be a Tarzan for this. And unfortunately I’m not.”
