Accessible Transportation

The local public transportation authority HVV (Hamburger Verkehrsverbund) provides exemplary service for passengers with physical disabilities.

Most of the city rail and underground networks (S-Bahn and U-Bahn), as well as the public busses have already been retrofitted to allow safe and comfortable rides for disabled passengers. Thus, 90% of all buses in service are now equipped with ramps. Special aids for passengers who are blind or have low vision were added, as well: at many stations on underground and city rail services, grooved panels with colored stripes mark the platform edge; acoustic door signals and strongly contrasting markers simplify the use of public transportation.

On HVV's website you can find a route map that tells you which stations offer access assistance. A particularly convenient service from HVV is the personalized online travel plan. Enter your point of departure and destination as well as many other travel preferences online, such as "disabled-friendly" or "avoid transfers" and receive detailed itineraries with tips for your orientation. The comprehensive HVV information package is an ideal way to start a hassle-free tour of the Hanseatic City.
