Accessibility development

When developing our new digital services, we pay special attention to accessibility. Everyone is welcome on the train – we also want to make our digital services accessible to all, taking the customers’ different needs into account.

Our goal is to provide all users with good service, regardless of the device they use, and we also take screen readers and keyboard-assisted navigation into account. However, this requires continuous development and there is still a long journey ahead of us.

We thank you for your patience and hope that you will send us feedback on any deficiencies and development needs.

Vr.fi and VR Matkalla awarded with the Selkeästi meille label

The Selkeästi meille project assessed our online services from the perspective of their cognitive accessibility. The label shows that we want to make our services as accessible and easy to understand as possible.
