Overview
General access to various venues int he City
Transport & Parking
Access
The subway system, has certain key stations that have lifts/elevators, but in my experience, the reliability of the lifts is somewhat patchy. For wheelchair users the bus system allows for access to most places and all buses have lifts to get on and off the bus. The drivers operate the lifts. Just stick your hand out when the bus arrives.
Toilets
The are a few rather dirty public toilets in the parks, I would recommend you not use them. Bigger retail/restaurant/tourist venues have accessible toilets that are quite good, but might not meet all needs.

Anything else you wish to tell us?
Taxi drivers are quite often not willing to stop for wheelchair users when I was there.
