FTS are not unambiguously defined.
DRTs, low demand/density, social, …
Transport-motive point of view.
Legal/administrative point of view.
Flexibility in PT is vital!
More and more …

FTS …
Service is universal: collective use and public access.

FTS represent a smart opportunity.
They have become more and more available over the years:
- easier access to technologies.
- higher awareness among stakeholders.
- varying/increasing needs of users.

Not balanced: NOs ~ YESs.
Local ~ national.
The technical growth ~ the legal development.
Specific law/regulation missing.
Good links between local and national levels regarding PT, not FTS.
Local deals.
Balanced: Bus ~ taxi.
Operator ~ Authority (Municipality).
Taxi operators are experienced with FTS. Entrepreneurship.

No need for EU intervention.
Too particular sector. Too local …
too much tailored on specific needs.
But: full awareness and skills are needed.

1. FTS is not the solution to every PT problem.
2. The heart of an FTS is the Charter.
3. FTS can be real “value for money” effectiveness.
