OBJECTIVE OF REGIONAL TRANSPORT TODAY AND ITS NEAR FUTURE
VOCATION DES TRANSPORTS REGIONAUX AUJOURD'HUI ET POUR LE PROCHE AVENIR
The author recalls that regional transport will have to take over parts of the individual transport and freight transport run by other operators if energy savings are to be made, and pollution and congestion are to be prevented. Should individual transport be restricted, regional transport will have to be used for transport of school children and other utilizations. It should therefore be made more attractive (for public transport: quicker and easier journeys, direct itineraries, simplified tariff system, increased service frequency; for freight transport: simplified routeing, speeding up of vehicle movements, elasticity of demand, etc.). Emphasis is placed on a closer cooperation between regional and urban transport. To fulfil its aim, regional transport should have technological means at its disposal together with legal arrangements such as reserved corridors for buses, priority for buses leaving a bus stop, activation of traffic signals by buses, etc. The author stresses the importance of cost-effectiveness in public and freight transport, which could be achieved by imposing tariffs adapted to the market and collective economy. /TRRL/
