The Osaka municipal subway system launched its service in 1933. Since then, the subway system has been expanded in its length and has constituted the city's major transportation network. Now, about 2.4 million passengers utilize this 115.6 km, seven-line subway network in a day. In 1993, "E-E-Ma-Chi Plan" was conceived as the barrier-free plan for existing stations. As a result of this plan, additional large-scale improvements were made, including the installation of escalators and elevators to enhance the convenience of passengers. This kind of comprehensive plan was a pioneering venture at that time. This paper describes the "Barrier-free Plan" and its background in detail.
