Abstract: An interface arrangement for data, signal and/or voice transmission between two adjacent car bodies of a multi-member vehicle, particularly a track-guided vehicle. The interface arrangement includes an electrical contact coupling associated with a first car body which has at least one coupling plane-side coupling contact for data, signal and/or voice transmission to a mating electrical contact coupling of a second car body adjacent to the first car body. In order to realize the interface arrangement particularly cost-effectively without losing its project-specific design capability, at least one coupling plane-side coupling contact is provided to be connected to a car body-side coupling contact of an electrical coupling/train interface solely by means of a data bus cabling.
