Anyone who wants to continue using the multi-storey car park at the station and has a weekly or monthly pass should replace their parking card. The check-in system in the multi-storey car park in Lahnstraße will be modernised during the night from Wednesday to Thursday. The barrier systems at the entrance and exit and the automatic pay stations will be modernised. The old magnetic stripe cards will be replaced by barcode cards. Holders of weekly or monthly tickets are requested to exchange their old magnetic stripe cards at the Deutsche Bahn travel centre in the station concourse by next Friday at the latest. Users of annual tickets have already received their new card by post. The simultaneous use of magnetic stripe cards and barcode cards is not technically possible.
Faster entry thanks to modernisation
Thanks to the new technology, the number of vehicles entering the station during peak times can be increased. SWG hopes that this will reduce waiting times at the entrance and exit. The new technology is also safer and more reliable than the previous system. The changeover should also reduce the high costs of servicing and maintaining the technical systems.
