The investments by ATB Consorzio head towards technological and operating solutions that can make public transport accessible to an increasingly number of people.
Motor disability
Vehicles
ATB buses have both a low floor, with a maximum height of 30 cm from the ground, and a boarding platform for wheelchairs and walking aids.
For an easier access, travellers with mobility difficulties, even if not in a wheelchair, can also request to board the bus through the central doors, which are generally reserved for getting off.
The first line of the City Funicular and the San Vigilio Funicular are equipped with a boarding platform. Furthermore passengers with disabilities and pregnant women have priority access to the funicular with the related companions and minors.
The buildings
ATB Point is equipped with a lift for customers with mobility difficulties. The funicular stations are equipped with a boarding platform.
Sometimes the road conditions do not allow the accessibility of all stops. To help our customers plan their journey as best as possible, we have mapped our accessible stops one by one, marking them by the symbol both at the stop and on the Google Maps.
Visual impairment
The website
The pages this website have been designed and created with a particular focus on information access by people with disabilities, with the perspective to provide a quality service to all potential users, without any exclusion.
The "Accessible timetables" page, which is particularly useful for visually impaired people, provides the transit timetable of any route at any stop. The use guide is available both on the dedicated page and in the Accessibility section of the site.
Blind users may also find usefull the Moovit app and the ATB trip planner based on the Google Transit service, which can be surfed by both Windows PC users with a Jaws or Nvda screen reader and Mac users with an On Board Voiceover screen reader.
The ATB Mobile App
The ATB Mobile app has been created in accordance with the experience of use of the iOS and Android platforms. The iOS version is used with Voice Over, an application for the blind.
The buildings
ATB Point and the upper and lower City Funicular stations both have tactile routes and maps for visually impaired people.
Vehicles
Guide and rescue dogs are allowed to travel for free even without muzzle (art. 5 of the Terms and Conditions of Travel).
