FLEXIBILITY IN FIXING TRANSPORT CHARGES

BERUECKSICHTIGUNG DER ELASTIZITAETEN IN DER FAHRPREISDIFFERENZIERUNG

A transport undertaking cannot fix an individual price for each passenger. Fares must however be graduated as judiciously as possible to adapt them to market conditions. The undertaking can "personalize" its tariffs in the best possible way if its marketing team classifies its services in a number of categories according to demand, allowing the greatest flexibility possible within each category.
