Abstract EN
This chapter explores accessibility in public transport, focusing on the case study of Warsaw in Poland, and is structured into several key sections. In Sect. 2, the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in urban spaces are discussed, shedding light on the impediments they encounter in navigating public transportation systems. Section 3 delves into the legal conditions surrounding accessibility, examining the international framework, national legislation, and the principles of universal design. A comprehensive review of existing accessibility solutions across various European cities is presented in Sect. 4, including accessible bus shelters equipped with access ramps and touchscreen directions and the integration of new technologies to enhance accessibility. Finally, Sect. 5 takes Warsaw as a central example of a European capital actively implementing innovative solutions in public transport accessibility. The chapter underscores the importance of addressing challenges, legal frameworks, and the adoption of cutting-edge solutions to create a more inclusive and accessible urban transport environment.
