- Abstract (Swedish)
- To travel with public transport and at the same time have
a pleasant and relaxed journey is not a guarantee. Stress,
insecurity and confusion can strike everyone, with or without
disabilities. A political goal says that Sweden should
have an accessible society in 2010. Some tools that can
be used to reach this goal are design and architecture,

Democratic design; accept that people are different and
does not exclude possible users.
Public transport; a possibility for people to travel in an organized
way in a common vehicle.
The result of this project is a service that offers information
that is essential to fulfi l a journey from A-Z. Except from the
concept itself I suggest this report to be seen as guidance
for projects that includes public transport and the aim of diversity. (Less)
