Mobility stations of tomorrow

Sophie is a technical student from Erfurt who is colorblind.

For her daily commute to university and in her free time, she uses buses, streetcars and regional trains flexibly at various mobility stations.

As she is often on the move spontaneously, she values clear travel information in real time and uses a mobile app with a color scheme adapted for her to make her journeys easier.

Jonas is a professional from Augsburg who values punctuality.

He uses the same mobility stations almost every day, mainly for bus journeys to the office.

He prefers stations that are clean and equipped with catering facilities.

For his trips to the airport, he also expects seating and charging stations to make the wait more pleasant.

Carlo is a busy media professional from Munich.

He visits mobility stations several times a week on his business trips. He likes to use lockers, cafés and supermarkets at the stations for his luggage and during waiting times.

Carlo is very well organized and uses various digital tools to plan and update his data. He attaches great importance to comfort during his travels.

Nina is a pensioner from Berlin who is no longer able to walk well.

She uses mobility stations for leisure activities, shopping and meeting up with friends. She usually travels by streetcar or subway and likes to be picked up directly from the mobility station.

She prefers stations that have elevators, seating areas and shelters. She is also interested in information about nearby pharmacies and barrier-free sanitary facilities. However, she often finds the use of mobile apps somewhat difficult.

Andrei works as an IT consultant in Stuttgart and prefers independence and flexibility.

He only uses his car or bicycle for work, errands and leisure. He avoids public transport and only uses mobility stations when he has to drop off or pick up his children for school trips.

Andrei's contacts with mobility stations are therefore rare and very purpose-oriented. He attaches great importance to convenient parking facilities and fast, safe access to platforms.
