DEVELOPMENT OF STAFF REQUIREMENTS FOR SHORT DISTANCE PUBLIC TRANSPORT, BETWEEN 1961 AND 1981

PERSONALINTENSITAET IM OEFFENTLICHEN PERSONENNAHVERKEHR 1961-1981

In the framework of a study concerning 115 short-distance public transport undertakings, the "work" production factor was compared to three variables: "ratio of manpower/vehicles produced, occupancy rate of vehicles", and "capacity of the vehicle". The study shows that during the last 20 years, staff requirements have strongly diminished. The level of requirements should stabilize in future, which could impair profitabliity, if transport undertakings do not compensate for this development by increasing revenue.
