Modernisierung Bahnhof Gümmenen
Seit Ende 2018 profitieren die Fahrgäste von einem kundenfreundlichen und modernen S-Bahn-Bahnhof in Gümmenen. Die BLS hat 19 Millionen Franken in neue und höhere Perrons, den Neubau von hindernisfreien Zugängen und die Erweiterung des Parkplatzangebots investiert.
- Construction start: end of 2015
- Planned commissioning: end of 2018
- Costs: the total costs of the modernisation amount to 19 million francs.
Following modernisation, Gümmenen Railway Station will meet the requirements of the Swiss Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), which enshrines in law the discrimination-free access to public transport. Railway operators must adapt their railway infrastructure and trains by the end of 2023. The modernisation of the station is the prerequisite for a continuous dual-track line from Bern to Gümmenen.
It is important to BLS that everyone can use public transport independently and spontaneously. In particular, this includes people with disabilities being able to board and alight from trains independently and access all information at the train station and when on board trains. To make this possible, BLS is adapting its train stations and all trains and buses to meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (BehiG). The Disability Discrimination Act brings improvements that benefit all passengers. For example, older people or travellers with a lot of luggage can also get around better on public transport.
