STANDARDIZING URBAN TRANSPORT

NORMERING STADSVERVOER

The author describes a simple method to establish standards for financing urban public transport. It is based on counts at crucial points in the network. Passenger kilometers are no longer calculated, but numbers of passengers and travel times of vehicles. Efficiency is rewarded and inefficiency discouraged. An example is given. (Author/TRRL)
