Abstract

Various free market initiatives nibbling at public transport's traditional markets: mixed effects on "commercial" potential of public transport Technical developments have not yet come to a new equilibrium: more automated, decentralised, tailor-made systems to come, has the potential to solve some social issues Public transport governance (in several/many countries) is based on monopoly, authority control, centralised planning: diminishing congruence with the governance of a growing part of passenger transport systems Challenges:
- Can contract be made not to hinder, and even to stimulate, (good) innovations?
- Can the (free) market be adequately regulated within a congruent regulatory regime for all transport services?
