Bußgelder und Marktbeschränkungen bei BFSG-Verstößen
€10,000–€100,000 per enforcement action, plus legal/court costs (estimated €5,000–€25,000); potential multi-incident exposure for large fleets or nationwide servicesBFSG enforcement (§ 37 BFSG) imposes administrative fines: €10,000 for minor offences (e.g., incorrect accessibility documentation), €100,000 for major violations (e.g., failure to meet core accessibility requirements or failure to affix CE marking). Market surveillance authorities can also order product or service bans. Transportation operators face additional exposure through lawsuits under the UWG (Unfair Competition Act) and costs of mandatory legal representation and court proceedings.
Marktbeschränkungen und Produktverbote durch Behördenverfügungen
5–15% revenue loss for affected digital services (e.g., online ticketing platform serving €50M+ annually = €2.5M–€7.5M exposure); one-time write-off of non-compliant kiosk fleets; legal liability for customer contract terminations; estimated customer acquisition cost recovery of €500–€2,000 per lost accountBFSG § 29 Abs. 3 states: 'In the case of services, the market surveillance authority may order the offer or provision to be discontinued.' For transportation, this could affect digital ticketing platforms, real-time passenger information systems, or accessibility booking features. A market ban would force service withdrawal, customer base loss, and contract termination liability. Additionally, reputational damage (mentioned in search results [2], [6]) from accessibility failures leads to loss of potential customers, particularly among disabled passengers and accessibility-conscious travellers.
Unzureichende Datenintegrität bei Zonen-Querfahrten und Abonnement-Reconciliation
2–5% of monthly subscription revenue (Deutschland-Ticket: €58×customers; typical network: 100,000+ subscribers = €5.8M revenue; 2–5% loss = €116,000–€290,000 annually). Plus 15–25 hours/month billing dispute resolution (€375–€625/month per operator)Deutschland-Ticket is non-transferrable with complex cancellation rules. Regional pricing is zone-dependent. Card-centric systems only update back-office overnight; ABT reduces discrepancies via real-time cloud. Manual reconciliation of zone crossings and subscription disputes creates refund liability.
Audit- und Remediation-Kosten für Barrierefreiheit
€15,000–€50,000 per audit (including consultant fees and internal labour); 200–400 internal hours annually (at €75–€150/hour = €15,000–€60,000 labour cost); 5-year documentation retention burdenBFSG § 14 requires economic operators to maintain conformity assessment documentation and technical evidence of compliance with EN 301 549 standards for 5 years. For transportation (kiosks, digital ticketing, accessibility information systems), this involves: (1) automated + manual accessibility testing (WCAG 2.1 AA), (2) gap analysis and remediation planning, (3) CE marking and declaration preparation, (4) ongoing monitoring for new issues. Companies typically engage third-party accessibility consultants to conduct independent audits, costing €8,000–€25,000 per engagement. Internal teams spend 200–400 hours annually on documentation, remediation, and compliance updates.
