RBS

Low-floor railcar for Regionalverkehr Bern–Solothurn (RBS), Switzerland RBS has purchased 6 + 8 (options) three-part low-floor express railcars from Stadler Bussnang AG. These trains are fully air-conditioned and have a design that facilitates access to all compartments throughout their entire 60-metre length. This accessibility improves the distribution of passengers within the train and make them feel safer. Passengers are provided with 157 seats in total, of which 18 are found in 1st class, plus 289 standing spaces. The trains are designed to reach a maximum speed of 120 kilometres per hour. The new Stadler multiple-unit low-floor railcars are in service between Solothurn and Bern since 2009. This means a better service for passengers, as they benefit from more comfortable trains and, little by little, from an increased number of trains running during peak travel periods. The railcars have been specially tailored to the needs of RBS and its passengers.
