Overview
Background & policy context:
Public transport is an indispensable element for passengers in cities and regions, because it helps the mobility of the public in a given area, respecting the environment. It also guarantees the mobility of those groups, who are not able to use alternative modes (e.g. private car). But at the same time the costs of public transport services represent an increasing financial burden for governments mainly because it is not self-financing.

The primary goal of the study is the introduction of the financing tasks related to the regulatory framework of public transport, and the secondary is the definition of the utilisable sources.

- Organisational questions regarding the operation of public transport
- Future questions of the operation and financing of public transport
- Possible financing basis of the urban and regional public transport
- Summary of the restructuring of the public transport subsidising and financing systems.
