Transport Associations and Tariff Integration – The European Experience foil 13
Germany before 1970► every transport company had its own tariff for local public transport
► no transparency in tariffs and no integrated coordination of schedules
► tickets of different transport companies were not accepted by the others
► no coordinated transport planning and marketing
History of transport associations and tariff integration in Germany
Development since 1970
Phase 1: tariff associations (public transport companies accepting each others tickets leading to associated tariffs)
Phase 2: transport associations (coordination and increase of transport planning and marketing, coordinated timetables for public transport)
Phase 3: tariff and transport associations (contracts on tariffs, distribution of fare income and shared timetables)
Today: tariff and transport associations nearly all over Germany >> one tariff – one ticket

Rhein-Main-Transport Association (RMV)- Integration of approximately 110 tariff rates
- approx- 150 transport companies- Region, Districts and large towns as partners

Transport Associations and Tariff Integration – The European Experience foil 18
A common tariff rate
Harmonization Aggregation
Tariff integration means:
>New Opportunities
- Tariff leeways but also synergies- Marketing/market appearances- Information - Transport planning- …
Harmonization of different tariffs couldlead to deficits for some parties
(depending on the levelsof the old tariff compared to the level of the new tariff)
Aggregation of fare income that was separated into single tariffs/companies - informer times - leads to defects for some parties
(one tariff – one ticket)
Example: 1995 - Tariff Integration RMV (Region Frankfurt / RheinMain)
► about 110 single tariffs
► about 150 public transport companies
► 26 cities and counties
Transport Associations and Tariff Integration – The European Experience foil 19
Scope for tariff and ticket design
Neue Chancen der Tarifpolitik
example
combination ticket„voucher = ticket“
for public transport(combined with e.g.
football World Cup 2006, concerts, events etc.)
example
job tickettickets for the whole staff of a company
example
student tickettickets for all the
students of auniversity
(student identity cardis your ticket)
Advantages
► low costs for distribution► more reliability of fare income (because tickets sold as a package)► political objectives in transportation are easier to achieve► increase of the usage of public transport in relation to other means of transportation (regarding “Modal Split”)
example
season tickettickets for a period
of time(day, week,
month or year)(consistent strategy)

Example:journey from city of Frankfurt (zone 50) to Wiesbaden (zone 65, yellow) = „tariff 5“

Tariff rate as a regulating instrument
Objectives (as examples) Corresponding tariff measures
Acquiring occupational travellers for local passenger transport system
Job tickets and favorable time cards
Acquiring schoolchildren/students at an early stage as “future” user potentials
Semester tickets, special offers for schoolchildren, annual cards for schoolchildren
Equalization of passengers demand (in vehicles) in the course of the day
Offers limited to certain hours, more expensive during main transportation hours or special offers in non-main transportation hours
Maximizing tariff revenues Simultaneously prepare, implement and analyze tariffs adjustments and simultaneously product range changes and uniformly prepare, implement and analyze the aforesaid correspondingly.
Encouraging trade fair visitors, football fans, etc. to use the local passenger transport system (alleviation of parking situation on the spot)
Combi-ticket agreements with the organizers of trade fairs and events, etc..

Advantages of an integrated association
Advantages for the customers► free choice of transportation system (e.g. bus , tram, regional rail)
► comprehensible strategy „one tariff - one ticket“
► coordinated timetables (best connections)
► improvement of quality
Advantages for the association► synergy effects for marketing, customer information etc.
► unification of distribution (e.g. ticketing)
► simple tariff system for all public transport systems
► consistent market presence
► higher demand on public transport
Experience of German associations for nearly 40 years (since 1967)
► increasing demand and increasing fare income

- Cost coverage ratio has been continually increased

>> lower subsidy amounts

Innovation through competition - use of EEV buses (1/2)
Demanding EEV Standard in Tender Package A Initial situation: Emission limiting values for air pollutants covered by the 22nd Federal Emission Protection Regulation (22. BImSchV) must be complied with for particles from 2005 and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from 2010. Communities are obliged to issue air pollution control plans and action plans. Action required in the Transport sector: Avoidance of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (ozone precursor substances), noise, fine dust
Lot A: Pilot Tender with High Environmental Standards Minimum standard for exhaust fumes EURO IV + carbon particulate filter being narrowed to EURO V + carbon particulate filter by December 2009 Optional exhaust fumes standard: EEV Standard
Federal Government subsidies EEV Vehicles and promotes the successful bidder Federal government supports vehicles with high EEV standards with up to € 1.4 Mio (€ 25,000 per standard or midi bus, € 12,000 per mini bus) through the KfW bank (“Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau”) EEV tendering parties receive an additional bonus on the evaluation of their bid With this tender Lot A fulfils the potentials of European legal standards Promotion also comprises the procurement of the necessary reserve vehicles (up to 57 vehicles will be promoted) Grants will only be given if EEV standard is offered for all vehicles in each category (not isolated for individual vehicles) – irrespective of whether they are driven by natural gas or diesel
Transport Associations and Tariff Integration – The European Experience foil 28
Results and experiences from Frankfurt am Main
All four tenders in lot A were offers with EEV standard
The price of the best offer is significantly below the benchmark
Promotion by the KfW reduces the total price by 5 cents per operational km. Even without this assistance, a good price would still have been achieved
It was again proven that quality can be controlled and significantly improved through competition in the bidding process
Local public transport makes its contribution towards air purity and noise reduction
The automotive industry has responded to the demand for high-quality vehicles
The Package A pilot tender has intensified the system competition of the vehicle manufacturers (natural gas vs. diesel) and constitutes at the same time a contribution towards strengthening the affected companies in European competition
