Travelling with a wheelchair or walking aid requires some preparation, but we are here to make the process as straightforward as possible.
This article covers everything you need to know before your journey - from stop accessibility and wheelchair requirements to how to register your mobility aids and arrange any additional assistance you may need on board.
We are continuously working towards improving accessibility across our network. However, as the redesign of stops for wheelchair accessibility takes time, we are not yet in a position to offer a comprehensive nationwide network of fully accessible stops.
As we do not directly operate the stops ourselves, we are currently unable to provide detailed information about their individual infrastructure.
We strongly recommend contacting your local stop operator directly before your trip to confirm the accessibility facilities available at your departure and arrival stops.
Only wheelchairs that meet specific safety standards are permitted in the passenger cabin of our long-distance buses. Before your journey, please ensure your wheelchair complies with the following requirements.
To be permitted in the passenger cabin, wheelchairs must:
Maximum permitted dimensions:
Maximum permitted weight (including occupant): 300 kg
If you require further information, please refer to the related articles section at the bottom of this page or contact us via the contact options below.
Mobility aids including folding wheelchairs, walking aids, and other orthopaedic aids can be transported free of charge.
Depending on whether your wheelchair will be stored in the luggage compartment or used in the passenger cabin, different registration deadlines apply.
To allow us to check the available transportation options, we ask that you inform us of the exact model of your wheelchair or walking aid before booking.
