Exactly! :)

Besides inaccessible vehicles, broken elevators are among the most significant pain points for people who regularly use a wheelchair, rollator, or stroller in public transit. Such an elevator can add an hour to your commute.

If you have a mobile impairment, it can save your day to know in advance if ‘your’ elevators work.

Berlin’s transit network (VBB) already does this: When you request a wheelchair accessible route, its app lets you navigate around broken elevators – thanks to facility status APIs of its connected partners.

To my knowledge, it’s the first transit operator to do this.

For passengers, there is an overview webpage: https://brokenlifts.org

IMO Google Maps and Apple Maps should have this feature, too.
