THE MUNICH TRANSPORT COMMUNITY - CONTRADICTION BETWEEN ECONOMIC THEORY AND POLITICAL ACTION? INVENTORY OF THE TRIAL YEAR AFTER THE OLYMPIC GAMES

DER MUENCHNER VERKEHRSBUND--EIN WIEDERSPRUCH ZWISCHEN OEKONOMISCHEM DENKEN UND POLITISCHEM HANDELN? BILANZ DES NACHOLYMPISCHEN BEWAEHRUNGSJAHRES

The inventory for 1973 (after the 1972 Olympic Games) shows expenditure of 510 million DM against receipts of 212 million DM, hence the substantial deficit despite the increased traffic recorded during that year. Although some of the reasons behind this deficit do not originate with the community, one may well ask to what extent this massive tax burden is justified by social service obligations. Of course, there are tangible results, especially in terms of relief to road traffic and shorter travel times. Nevertheless, the community since 26 May 1974 has been reappraising the overall service pattern in order to better adapt it to requirements.
