Samenvatting
The proposal for the new Act on Passenger Transport distinguishes three categories of professional passenger transport: public transport, private bustransport and taxitransport. The proposal includes distribution of governmental authorities and financial relations between the involved levels of government and transportcompanies. Local government is in charge of local public transport. By means of a grant for local public transport based on the volume of transport, greater freedom for local government policy on local public transport is pursued.
