How much is accessible Arad for people with disabilities?

In Arad the common way of travelling is tram. There are many trams that connect different places of this city.
Is nice travel with tram: you are surrounded by local people and you have a lot of time for see them... When your tram is travelling slowly trough the city you can notice different people: children, young people... Old people. Someone travel alone, someone with friends or someone spend his time reading.

But... People with disabilities? How they can move alone around the city? 
This week some of us tried to toke a look around for understand how much Arad is accessible... and.. we took some pictures:




The first impression is that is totally impossible for them get into the trams... Most of them are very very old, and when you want enter into you have to taking the stairs.

And when you are inside?
Some of this old trams have some empty space 



But most of them have a very little empty space inside:


 This is the actually situation in Arad: many places connected by trams, a lot of people that can use them... but not all of population is included: why?
