Efficient Use of Bus and Taxi in the Country – Transport Service and “Travelling Service” in Co-ordination

People living in households without access to a car are very restrictive in their traveling. Especially those living in the countryside where there is a long way to public service etc., and the bus connections are both sparse and deficient in the evening and the weekends. The bus connections primarily supply trips to school and places of work. The taxi in the countryside is almost 100% dependent on trips financed by society for its survival. An example of trips financed in this way is transport service trips, which give disabled people a possibility to use taxi or special vehicles, normally for the same price as a bus fare. Normally there are few passengers per bus departure and only one passenger per taxi trip. Co-ordination of the trips by booking centers is only made for a limited number of trips.
