proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Spatial Planning\nThe\
  \ system of subsidised transport for beneficiaries is regulated by the Road Transport\
  \ Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No 131/06, 33/96, 88/99, 94/01,\
  \ 16/02, 30/02, 82/02, 40/03, 92/03, 108/03, 129/03, 11/04, 86/04, 88/04, 137/04,\
  \ 120/05, 5/07 - corrected), 123/08, 28/10, 49/11, 40/12 - ZUJF, 57/12 and 39/13),\
  \ where Articles 114 a. to 114 f. define the beneficiaries of subsidised transport\
  \ and the conditions for its use.  Since the introduction of the new system in the\
  \ 2012/2013 school year, the number of pupils using the subsidised transport system\
  \ has increased by 48% and the number of students by 59%.\nThe beneficiary is entitled\
  \ to only one ticket per journey and must choose one mode or carrier if several\
  \ modes of transport (e.g. train and bus) or carriers operate on the same journey,\
  \ as the electronic ticketing systems currently in use by each carrier are incompatible\
  \ with each other and the other carrier cannot check whether the ticket is valid\
  \ for the journey on which the passenger is travelling. The MZIP is therefore implementing\
  \ the Integrated Public Passenger Transport in the Republic of Slovenia project,\
  \ which will resolve and eliminate this problem.\nThe combined ticket is intended\
  \ exclusively for users who can only travel from point A to point B by using several\
  \ modes of transport or different carriers, but the routes must not be duplicated,\
  \ as this would significantly increase the cost of the subsidised services. The\
  \ beneficiary currently covers between 12 and 28% of the cost of the transport,\
  \ which, if the combined ticket were to be implemented as proposed, would mean that\
  \ an additional \u20AC20-25 million would have to be provided in the RS Budget.\
  \ The only exception is the combined ticket with an urban transport ticket, which\
  \ is not a universal right and is also co-financed by local authorities on the basis\
  \ of contracts between the MHIP and urban transport operators.\nHowever, due to\
  \ a natural disaster (hailstorm), MZIP allowed all users of subsidised transport\
  \ to exchange their valid tickets without restrictions.\n \n "
