Unreasonably onerous adaptation
Timetables
We invoke unreasonably onerous adaptation under Section 12 of the Digital Public Service Accessibility Act for timetables in pdf. The files are designed as a basis for printed tables and the system that generates them is not built to take into account the requirements of accessibility customizations. We invoke unreasonably onerous adaptation as adaptation would be a very costly investment and involve work for which we do not have the capacity at present.
How we've tested the site
Funka has conducted an independent review of vasttrafik.se.
The following websites referred to from vasttrafik.se may have accessibility deficiencies:
- Book travel - website where customers can book travel with, for example, Transportation Service
- Developer Portal - website for people who want to use Västtrafik's APIs.
Västtrafik AB continuously reviews the website and corrects shortcomings in accessibility.
