Conference
Berlin, 29.-30. September 2005
More customers through more participation?
Strategies and concepts for the dialogue between public transport passengers and operators
The position of public transport users has traditionally been weak compared to the consumers' situation on many other markets. This is due to two main reasons: Public transport is dominated by monopoly conditions and a strong political influence on the service provided. In most countries, provision is highly regulated, but consumer protection - in particular in case of delays and other service malfunctions - has often been lacking. However, to bear in mind user interests is essential for the acceptance of public transport as an alternative to the car and a contribution to the balanced and sustainable development of tomorrow's conurbations. These interests must be given due consideration on the planning, operational and customer service level. Issues and approaches for the involvement and representation of public transport users will be discussed on a two-day conference organised as part of the BUSREP project.
