Deutsche Bahn is developing stations across Germany into these innovative mobility hubs as part of its 'Zukunftsbahnhof' programme, focused on three key characteristics: customer-oriented for greater attractiveness, high-performing to accommodate more travellers, and sustainable in construction and operation. As part of this targeted modernisation programme, selected stations are being developed into attractive transport hubs according to uniform standards.
