Prior to the conversion, Lychacz submitted a statement on the plans for the barrier-free conversion of the bus stop. For such comments, the plans for each individual bus stop are examined and evaluated individually.
Lychacz justifies her assessment of the conversion by stating that the digital passenger information (DFI) on the bus stop sign would not be visible well or at all elsewhere. The DFI is still being installed. The pole with the sign and DFI also serves as an orientation marker for the bus driver and people with disabilities: when the side mirror of the bus is on the sign, the first bus door opens directly at the boarding area for blind and visually impaired people. The second bus door opens for people in wheelchairs or with walkers at the point where the necessary 2.5 by 2.5 meter manoeuvring space is available. "Good orientation at the bus stop is important for everyone," says Lychacz. Last but not least, the width of the sidewalk guarantees that at least one person in a wheelchair has enough space to maneuver.
