Public transport improvements for people with reduced mobility. Andris' story

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. Andris' story” reveals a real-life experience of travelling on the new trains. The video shows Andris' journey on the electric train from Sarkandaugava to Riga Central Railway station. He has mobility limitations and relies on a wheelchair for movement. This video shows step by step how Andris gets on the train, moves around on it and gets off the train after the journey. The video introduces the improvements in rail transport and how these solutions make everyday commuting 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.
