CO-OPERATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT UNDERTAKINGS IN CITY REGIONS: PROBLEMS OF COST ACCOUNTS, TARIFFS AND REVENUE SHARING, FROM THE GERMAN FEDERAL RAILWAY'S POINT OF VIEW

It has taken a long time -- a far too long time -- before it has come to be generally recognised that the enormous efforts made by our generation in order to cope with the traffic problems in large conurbations can by no means be confined to measures for private transport but that, at present and in future, it is public transport which must form the backbone of the transport systems. In the course of the long process which our society has undergone in appreciating the value of well-organised local public transport systems, there is today again some reason to hope that it may, after all, still be possible to master the traffic problem in the large city regions.
