THE CHANCES OF A BUS SEASON TICKET FOR THE FAMILY

DE KANSEN VAN EEN BUS GEZINS-ABONNEMENT

In the Eindhoven region there is an agreement to cooperate between three bus companies, the local authority and the conurbation of Eindhoven. In connection with this cooperation, a household survey was held to investigate whether the introduction of a season ticket for the whole family would be successful, and would provide more passengers for buses. A season ticket could have a promoting effect, but in the whole region at least 3200 bus season tickets for a year would need to be sold to obtain an economic equilibrium. However, the fact that the number of season tickets is very low at the moment must be considered. (TRRL)
