your opinions on the mechanical links between Monaco and Beausoleil
Many of you have suggested areas for improvement, including with other neighboring municipalities.
On September 12, Prince Albert II inaugurated the first MonaBike station and six mechanical links in Beausoleil, thus encouraging soft mobility between the town and the Principality.
We asked our readers to share with us their opinions on these new systems and their possible avenues for improvement to facilitate their travel between the Principality and the neighboring municipalities.
Reading the many comments we have received, the escalators are generally well received. ” Thanks to Monaco and the mayor of Beausoleil: these escalators will be very useful for the elderly to go back home after shopping “comments a user.
” Great ! What a reduction when you are not very able-bodied! Thanks ! we will try says a second reader. The ” well done » and other smileys of applause follow one another, thus congratulating the arrival of the mechanical connections set up to simplify the movements of the users.
If the report is rather positive on the whole, some readers did not hesitate to share but keep some suggestions for improvement, intended in particular for the elderly or people with reduced mobility (PRM).

A better link with the cemetery for people with reduced mobility
A reader, for example, finds this device “ great, but need to go the other way around for people in difficulty. For Emma, the problem lies above all in the event of a possible breakdown: ” And when an elderly person who cannot climb the stairs, for example, finds himself between two escalators and the 2nd one does not work, how does he do it? I’ve seen this situation before and the lady was on the verge of tears “, she testifies.
Olivier, for his part, raises a similar concern: “ this is also valid for the three moving walkways for access to the modern SNCF train station in Monaco, when these walkways are at a standstill, walking is required, but these galleries are long! We regret the old station which was very convenient to access! »
The latter then made another suggestion to the attention of the competent authorities, but this time on the side of Cap d’Ail: ” for the cemetery of Monaco, [il faudrait] a level-by-level lifting system for people with reduced mobility who want to be reduced to the grave of their loved one. This is a proposal from my mother (92 years old). The stairs are a little “steep”… Thank you. And it will be very useful for other elderly people and/or people with difficult mobility. »
Translated proposals corroborated by Bélinda, who comments: “ You are quite right. My handicapped sister was never able to relieve herself at my dad’s grave. She joined my dad without being able to delete herself once. It’s true that she misses it. »
