THE ROLE OF THE RAILWAY IN THE DESIGN OF LOCAL MASS PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION

DIE ROLLE DER BAHN IM KONZEPT DES OEFFENTLICHEN PERSONENNAHVERKEHRS

As there is no monopoly in regional passenger transport, the railway is not controlled by State legislation in this area. Regional transport design should therefore be based on general economic factors and what is considered desirable. In heavily populated urban areas rail transport constitutes the backbone of the system; frequently however, buses or coaches are more attractive and economical.
