CURRENT PROBLEMS IN SHORT-DISTANCE TRAFFIC

AKTULLE FRAGEN DER NAHVERKEHRSPOLITIK

Short-distance transport modes have a limited ability to adapt to market fulctuations, there are fewer possibilities for increasing capacity and they must cooperate with other transport modes. One of the aims of the German Federal Republic's Ministry of Transport is to find new sources for financing projects by levying special taxes on regional or inter-community groups. To reach these aims, the financial capacity of transport bodies should be combined, public transport should be given full support and priority and towns with a population of more than 1,000,000 should be encouraged to build underground transport systems.
