proposal type: Competent authority response
response: 'Response from the Ministry of Transport

  The proposal makes sense from the point of view of fuel consumption and emissions,
  but from the point of view of the public passenger transport system as a whole,
  it can be said to be applicable on a case-by-case basis. The buses are not owned
  by the State, but by the carriers operating under the existing public passenger
  transport system on the basis of concessions. The State prescribes minimum vehicle
  standards for the carriers, but does not intervene in the area of vehicle size,
  as the same vehicles are used by the carriers for so-called commercial journeys
  when the buses are full. The primary task of the State is to improve the overall
  PPP system, leaving it to the operators to make a business decision on the fleet
  within the prescribed standard. The State''s efforts are primarily aimed at increasing
  the use of JPT.

  The Ministry of Transport is implementing an integrated public passenger transport
  project, which aims to create the conditions for the introduction of a single ticket
  and the harmonisation of timetables at bus and rail level by 2012. Improving accessibility
  by public transport will be supported by various information, education and awareness-raising
  campaigns to inform passengers about the importance of using public passenger transport
  or, more broadly, about the importance of sustainable mobility, as walking and cycling
  complement the public passenger transport system.

  For areas with low population density and without the potential for higher passenger
  numbers, the future integrated public passenger transport system foresees the provision
  of "on-call services" with smaller vehicles.'
