SOCIAL "BALANCE SHEET" FOR SHORT-DISTANCE PUBLIC TRANSPORT

SOZIALBILANZ IM OEFFENTLICHEN PERSONENNAHVERKEHR

The traditional presentation of company accounts, with their exclusively profit-oriented character, is not a true reflection of the company's activities, in that they tend to overlook the main objectives of a short-distance public transport company. Hence the presentation, for this particular business, of results based on its social aspect, in the form of a "social balance sheet" . Alongside general considerations and possible premises for this particular sector of activity, the author identifies the social profit and cost elements, and gives an assessment based on turnover.
