SUCCESS OF INVESTMENT IN LOCAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN GERMANY

G Girnau, K W Mueller

Abstract

Since 1967, substantial public funds have been made available by federal and state governments for construction work to improve local public transport in towns and cities. This has made it possible to implement large-scale projects - such as underground and commuter railway systems - and a large number of smaller schemes designed to improve urban traffic conditions. The present article describes the initial situation as well as the statutory bases for improving traffic conditions in towns and cities, and presents a survey of the investment and construction work being done in local public transport. This is followed by an analysis of the transport improvements achieved so far as well as the consequences for urban planning and public policy in the social and labor market fields.(a) (TRRL)
