Public transportation
Disabled people with a valid token in their disabled people pass can use all services of the MVV (U-Bahn (subway) and S-Bahn (suburban train), tram (streetcar) and bus) for free.
Here is an overview of the suburban trains, metro and regional trains in the city and around with indications on the barrier free accessibility, which can be found in the MVV-leaflet „Barrierefreier Zugang“. Please watch the height indications, which can vary between the transportation device and the platform: for example at Harthof (2-7 cm), Scheidplatz (8-13 cm) or Riem (24-30 cm). Assistance with boarding or disembarking is provided by the train driver if necessary, so use the first door behind the driver.

The exit side of the S-Bahn is usually on the left, it is announced over the speaker phones.The new subways have light displays, which indicate the exit side.
Busses and trams are equipped with folding ramps and/or elevating platforms. Both have a max. weight of 300 kg, however, only approved for wheelchairs, not for walkers or other walking aids!
At platforms and accesses towards the U-Bahn stations as much as at S-Bahn stations, bus and streetcar stations you will find tactile detectible strips of ribbed slabs for blind and sight impaired passengers.
