Regulierung versus Deregulierung im Öffentlichen Personennahverkehr – Das Modell eines Nutzerklubs

Perspektiven der Wirtschaftspolitik, 2002, vol. 3, issue 1, 69-84

Abstract: Network effects, economies of scope as well as irreversibilities and subadditive cost functions are characteristics of public passenger transport systems. The proposal of a user club shows that a collective requirement to act can be covered even without state regulations. The club bears the responsibility for a sufficient public transport supply, which local jurisdictions can supplement by their own means. In a public tendering, the club confers the actual supply planning to the management company, which in turn chooses qualified bidders for the carrying out of the public transport services. The different problems of long‐run irreversible investments (railway system), an appropriate structure of transport fares to prevent a cherry‐picking by outsiders, the stability of the club as well as the role of the state are treated separately.
