The most notable improvement is the facing arrangement of the two spaces reserved for wheelchairs, scooters and pushchairs, in addition, the safety of the wheelchair user is guaranteed thanks to a folding side support bar and adjustable straps.
They are also accessible for people with sight and hearing, since they have visual and audible stop warning devices on the outside of the vehicles, with the info-accessibility device for the blind. In the validators inside the vehicles there is signage that, through the contrast of colors also in braille, allows the decal number (vehicle identification number) of the bus in which they travel to be read.
The driver can inform you of the route of that line and change the ticket that, despite being well preserved, you cannot validate correctly. It also assists you in incidents that affect you on board the bus. In addition, on bi-articulated buses you have a single ticket vending machine and an intercom system to get in touch with the driver.
