SOCIAL AUDIT OF PUBLIC PASSENGER TRANSPORT

SOZIALBILANZ IM OEFFENTLICHEN PERSONENNAHVERKEHR

The customary methods of cost analysis undertaken by public utilities, with its total concentration on profit, provides only a limited perspective of the actual operating factors. Thus, in these calculations, the public utility aims of the public transport operator are not expressed. For this reason, an approach was devised for an actual public transport authority, which is termed "social audit". In addition to general discussions and possible expressions for this special authority, the authors present economic cost benefit analyses and output-orientated evaluations. /TRRL/
