Samenvatting
An integrated traffic and transport policy calls for an integrated financial policy for both public and private transport. Co-operation between government and public transport firms seems a bit one-sided. The government decides voluntarily to co-operate with interest groups. No obligatory deals are made. The segregated operation of public transport firms make it inevitable operation of public transport firms make it inevitable that only a sub-optimum can be reached in the organisation as a whole. The ongoing integration process is too much aimed at cost reduction and too less at fare maximisation.
