Konsequente Neuausrichtung eines Verkehrsbetriebs am Wettbewerb
Summary
Fulda reduces costs by 20 per cent
The new organisation of the transport enterprise in Fulda (Überlandwerk Fulda AG (ÜWAG)) demands not only organisational measures but also new regulations regarding collective wage agreements in order to reduce the costs of personnel in the long run. A subsidiary company of transport (ÜVG) has been founded which applies the collective wage agreements of the private bus enterprises. The whole transport company and thus almost all employees of the former transport enterprise of the ÜWAG have been transferred according to § 613 a of the BGB (transfer of enterprise) to the ÜVG. The reduction of the costs of personnel has been accompanied by the replacement of the previous supplementary assurance by a funds of indemnity applicable to several enterprises. The details of the transfer of enterprise have been regulated by agreements on an enterprise level.

Summary
New Window System Reduces Costs
If a pane glued in a vehicle is irreparably damaged, the costs of repair are considerable. The aim of each transport enterprise is a minimum of maintenance costs combined with a maximum of availability of the vehicles. These demands have been realized in case of the development of the new system of quickly exchangeable windows. This system permits to exchange a window within twenty minutes, if necessary independently of a workshop. During the working life of the vehicle, the costs can considerably be reduced in the field of repair.

Which Railroads for Which Demands Made on the Traffic?
Within the framework of different studies, roads with unconventional railroads have been examined, above all railroads at street level with separated modes of transport as well as special railroads with semi-elevated boards and single lanes. The results of the studies and recommendations for the application for all forms of railroads in question which are recommended according to the directives of the installation of main roads are now available. On the basis of these results, it is now possible to formulate recommendations and fields of application for traditional and unconvential forms of railroads.

Park and Ride: Sinnvoll auch in Klein- und Mittelstädten ►
Erfurt, Soest und Oberstdorf ñ drei unterschiedliche Ansätze für nahverkehrsverträgliches P+R
Summary
Park and Ride: Useful Even in Small and Medium Sized Towns
Although transport requirements in small and medium sized towns are different from those in metropolitan cities, some examples show how park-and-ride can be a useful complement to public and private transport. The following trip purposes were identified for park-and-ride: shopping, visiting special events, tourism and work. The article describes park-and-ride services in Erfurt, Soest and Oberstdorf. From the experience of these and other towns the authors make recommendations on principles for the location, design, operation, maintenance, finance and marketing of park-and-ride facilities, which were in more detail also published as guidelines by the German Road and Transport Research Board.
