Augsburg mobility hub
Challenge: Construction during ongoing railway operations
Accessible mobility on three levels
In order to make local public transport more efficient and attractive, the city of Augsburg has launched the “Augsburg Mobility Hub” transport project with several coordinated individual projects. A key component of this is the remodelling of Augsburg Central Station into an accessible and modern hub.
