English abstract:
Regarding to EU regulations today´s public transportation systems must be accessible for everyone without any restrictions. The relevant question is: How can trains be accessible for everyone? The huge variety of different vehicles and different platforms does not allow level boarding everywhere, only in so called "closed" systems. The paper gives an overview about the needs and expectations of the many different groups of passengers, about the operator's point of view and it will point out several technical and different service solutions around whole Europe in order to offer accessible trains.
