Legal matters
Accessibility: Travelling with a wheelchair, rollator and pushchair
Mobility is a natural human need. Everyone has experienced how quickly their freedom of movement is restricted: Heavy shopping, a pram or a broken leg can make journeys difficult and being visually impaired or reliant on a wheelchair severely restricts mobility.
Barrier-free bus stops together with vehicles without steps and sufficient door width are the necessary conditions to be able to travel by bus with a wheelchair or pushchair without any problems. As these conditions are not yet fully met in our service area, we will be happy to advise you on your travel requirements and endeavour to offer you the best possible accessibility. If you let us know where you would like to get on or off the bus, we will check whether the desired stop is suitably equipped.
If you already know in advance that you would like to go on a trip, we would be delighted if you could book in advance. So that we can ensure that your journey with a wheelchair (especially with an electric wheelchair) runs smoothly, please contact us by telephone at least one day before you wish to travel so that we can make the necessary arrangements. Simply give us a call from Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. and we will be happy to advise you.
If you have a spontaneous journey request, please give us the opportunity to check the availability of a suitable vehicle for you. Simply contact our head office, who will find out at short notice what we can offer you.
If you need help getting on and off the bus, passengers and/or our drivers will be happy to help you. However, please understand that there is no general obligation to provide assistance. Please do not hesitate to speak to other passengers or the driver if the specially designated seats for the severely disabled or the multi-purpose areas in the vehicle are occupied. Because one thing is certain: wheelchair users and pushchairs have priority access to the parking space in the multi-purpose area.
If you are travelling with a rollator, it is good to know that it must be folded up in the vehicle or at least parked securely in the multi-purpose area, with the brake applied. For your safety, the rollator must not be used as a seat on the bus, as this is particularly dangerous when moving off and braking.
