Abstract

The article focuses on the problem of eliminating barriers by implementing innovations in public transport for passengers with reduced mobility, such as the disabled, but also elderly people, pregnant women, people with small children, passengers with large luggage or the obese. These innovations are intended not only to increase the accessibility of public transport for these groups of users, but also to respect their human rights to live with dignity. Practical solutions are based on the City of Berlin, with an average of 2.6 million passengers per day using public transport services, among whom one in six is in fact a person with reduced mobility. This problem is systematically gaining importance, among others, in the context of global demographic growth, civilization diseases, like obesity, and also due to the aging of European societies.
