Aerobús

Bus service operating between the city centre and Barcelona airport.

The systems on the Aerobús that allow access for people with reduced mobility are listed below:

• The buses tilt down towards the kerb so that wheelchair users and other people with reduced mobility can board more easily.
• They have retractable access ramps fitted with safety systems (acoustic signals and illuminated signs to let passengers know that the ramps are being lowered or raised, automatic shut-down system should the ramp come into contact with any objects or people, anchorage system in case the ramp starts moving with a person or object on it, etc.).
• A space reserved for wheelchair users, fitted with anchorage systems and correctly signed. Passengers will have to ask the driver for assistance in order to secure their wheelchair.
• Spaces reserved for other people with reduced mobility, fitted with retractable armrests and grab handles, and correctly signed.
• The reserved seats have enough space underneath for a guide dog.

The buses have the following communication systems:

• Specific devices located in the reserved seating areas and placed at the correct height so that wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility can board more easily.
• Devices outside the bus so that passengers can request access to the ramp.
• The driver announces each stop (with a microphone).
• Some types of bus don't have any Braille or tactile buttons.
• There are no specific bus stop signage systems for the blind and visually impaired.
