Smart information displays (SID).

Smart information displays (SID) are informative touchscreens and show you all the information about a particular station.

Smart information displays (SID) are interactive pillars with touch screens – you will find them at many small and medium-sized stations. The pillars show you all the information that you used to be able to find in printed form at the station, for example, the timetable posters showing the departures and arrivals, or the route network maps.

In addition, the pillars inform you in real time about the next departures and any timetable changes due to current disruptions or planned road works.

Accessibility.

The displays on the pillars switch to accessible at the touch of a button:

  • The font is enlarged.
  • The amount of information is reduced to the bare minimum.
  • The contrast is reversed (white text on black background).
  • You can have all the relevant information read out to you at the touch of a button.
  • You can lower the information and navigation elements to sitting height so that you can easily operate the touch screen from your wheelchair.

Replacements for Internet Explorer 11.

Microsoft is gradually discontinuing its support for Internet Explorer 11 (more info on microsoft.comLink opens in new window.). If you continue to use Internet Explorer to access SBB.ch, you may experience functional limitations and display problems in the future. For this reason, we recommend using a more modern browser (e.g. Mozilla FirefoxLink opens in new window., Google ChromeLink opens in new window., Microsoft EdgeLink opens in new window.).

We are aware that switching to a new browser may take some getting used to and cause some uncertainties. A more modern browser will allow you to benefit from faster and more secure internet access in future. We are committed to continuing our work with the utmost enthusiasm in the future to guarantee you accessible and inclusive access to SBB.ch.
