Targeted public transport. Sub report 1: Sub- markets and practical experiences

The report summarises experiences from public transport which is targeted at different road user groups/ market segments, but which is open to all. Thematically, this is limited to buses and taxis in the local traffic area. The main philosophy behind developing targeted public transport is to create public transport which better meets the demands and wishes of the submarket at whom the measure is primarily directed. This also means that for the most part, the different market segments need individual solutions with regard to the most important characteristics or quality factors in relation to the users. The report describes the market segments' work routes. service routes, pre-ordered transport, hospital routes, local night-time routes, customer routes and other targeted public transport routes. Within each segment, examples are given of concrete, targeted public transport schemes. The subject of fares and fare systems, together with operating methods adapted to the market, are described briefly, focusing on central problems related to targeted public transport.
