Main objective: improve attractiveness and efficiency of

Key points of the new architecture (organizational)
• Clear separation of the responsibilities between the PTA (Public Transport
Authority – the Province of BZ) and the PTOs (Public Transport Operators)
• Heave use of standardized protocols, mainly CEN-Protocols.
• Designed in order to ensure high-quality and rich passenger information
services, since all PTOs (including those of the rail sector) are obliged to
exchange data according to certain standards and processes.
• The architecture will be fully rolled out over the next few years.

there.
