Company Information
Subtitle: S-Bahn Berlin invests in ergonomic infrastructure
The Almex division of
the German IT and engineering Group Hoeft & Wessel will supply 500 
stationary ticket vending machines to S-Bahn Berlin GmbH. With their 
extra bright screens that respond to the lightest touch, a faster 
ticket printer, a quadrilateral menu for easy selection of standard 
tickets, a display highlighting the next step in the procedure, 
Braille labelling and a bag rest, this latest generation of machines 
is even more convenient and easier to use for passengers. The result 
is a significant reduction in the time required to operate the 
machines for the passengers. Moreover, S-Bahn Berlin will install 
additional ticket machines in stations with a high passenger volume, 
so that the total number of machines will increase by 50.
S-Bahn Berlin opted for an Almex ticketing system on the strength of 
the positive experiences with a previous-generation Almex system that
was also supplied by Hoeft & Wessel. 400 new ticket machines will be 
installed in the course of this year, starting in May 2010. The 
remaining 100 units will follow in 2011.
Some 1.3 million passengers travel on the S-Bahn network in Berlin 
and the surrounding area. Time-based tickets can be purchased as well
as single-fare tickets, and they can be paid for using cash or cards.
"The new ticket vending machines represent an investment to make our 
services even more user-friendly. Our passengers will appreciate the 
easier and faster operation of these terminals," explains Gerd-Peter 
Willbrandt, Head of Sales at S-Bahn Berlin.
A key focus in the development of the new machines was on providing 
universal access to all users. With their bright screen, Braille 
labelling and the clear guidance provided to the user, these machines
are particularly convenient for use by passengers with disabilities. 
The units can also provide information acoustically.
