How extensive is accessibility on board trains?

You will find lifts and tie-down strapping to secure wheelchairs on board our trains. On the regional and long-distance train there are also handicap-accessible bathrooms. Older trains have access ramps and tracks which will entail more assistance at boarding and descending from trains.

Our newer trains and most of Vy's older trains have designated priority seating. These seats are primarily for travelers with reduced mobility. Passengers for whom priority seating is important include the physically impaired, elderly, growth impaired individuals, children, pregnant women, adults traveling with small children, and the visually impaired. We ask our riders to be aware of fellow passengers who have a special need to be seated, and to give the seat they may be occupying to that person. This request to relinquish seats only applies in trains or compartments without seat reservations.
