TOWARDS A PRACTICAL COMPARISON-STANDARD FOR URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT PERFORMANCE

NORMERING STADSVERVOER

In the Netherlands several attempts have been made to establish a comparison-standard for urban public transport performance, according to a similar standard for interurban routes introduced several years ago. Apart from the way the responsibilities for public transport will be arranged in the future, the government must have the possession of a key towards well-balanced distribution of the available or necessary funds. For this purpose, Bureau Goudappel en Coffeng have designed a method for measuring urban public transport performance, which is easy to execute, and which allows the desired decentralisation of responsibilities in the public transport field. This method encourages local authorities to maintain an active policy towards public transport by "rewarding" such a positive attitude and by "penalizing" any communities showing lack of interest.
