Disabled travellers

The Disabled Persons Act (LDis) stipulates that from 2024, public transport must be accessible without barriers and thus, in principle, independent use by persons with disabilities. In recent years, various equipment and vehicles have been adapted to enable disabled users and users with reduced mobility to travel independently.

Interchange nodes are points where several bus lines converge or where there is also a railway stop, offering the possibility of changing means of transport. For connections to the centre of Ascona it is necessary to change buses at the Fiume Maggia stop, changing from Line 316 to Line 1 (or vice versa). From Piazza Castello, on the other hand, connections are possible with Line 4 to and from the Lido area.
