The new electric trains purchased with European Union funds are designed to ensure comfort and accessibility of every passenger. The stations are also being improved to make them accessible to everyone – including people with mobility, vision or hearing impairments.

The video “Public transport improvements for people with reduced mobility” shows a real-life experience of travelling on the new trains. The video shows Agnese’s journey on the electric train from Tīraine to Bieriņi. She has visual impairments and this video shows step by step how Agnese gets on the train, moves around on it and gets off the train safely after the journey. The video introduces the new improvements in train transport and how these solutions make everyday travel easier. The video aims to encourage and inspire all groups of the population to use the train more actively as a convenient, accessible and safe mode of transport for everyone.
