BUS TRANSPORT IN THE NETHERLANDS: A SCENARIO FOR 2010

D Buitendijk, E Boneschansker

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This paper deals with the policy changes that take place in bus transport in the Netherlands. From a declining and heavily subsidized sector, bus transport must become a real alternative to growing car use, and must be financially less dependent on government subsidies. The main tools are the introduction of competition (on transport concessions) and decentralization of policymaking to regional authorities. The paper looks at some difficulties, and gives a scenario for a better bus transport in the future. (A) For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 887581.
