TraffiQ – Vollelektrische Gelenkbusse für Frankfurt
Entwicklung der Designvorgaben und Umsetzung für die Stadtbus-Flotte

As the local public transportation authority for the city of Frankfurt am Main, traffiQ organizes all bus and rail services. For the first time, uniform design guidelines are being developed by the individual transportation operators for fleet procurement. In a preliminary project, the wishes and needs of Frankfurt’s residents were carefully surveyed and translated into seating concepts, among other things. We approach our design projects with a focus on accessibility, sustainability, functionality, value for money, and an elegant atmosphere. At the same time, we incorporate insights gained from dialogue with industry and operators.
View of the driver's cab; on the left is the handrail for persons accompanying passengers with disabilities in the multipurpose compartment. The textured surface of the handrails provides a more secure grip and also improves visibility for passengers with low vision by enhancing contrast under changing lighting conditions.


In the articulated bus, a handrail is provided in the transition area in front of the bellows; the additional handholds here provide a sense of security when passengers find themselves standing on the turntables during periods of high passenger volume.

Blick vom Einstieg auf das gegenüberliegende Mehrzweckabteil: Gut zu sehen ist das Angebot an Klappsitzen, Gurte für die Fahrradmitnahme, Rollstühle und elektrische Rollatoren sowie die Lehnhilfe für Begleitpersonen behinderter Fahrgäste.
View from the entrance toward the multipurpose compartment across the aisle: Clearly visible are the folding seats, straps for securing bicycles, wheelchairs, and electric walkers, as well as the handrail for companions of passengers with disabilities.
