infrastructure, management, regulation
Externalities: Who bears indirect costs ?
accidents, noise, toxic pollutions well-to-wheel

(1) How can private and public transport
providers work together in a more “positive”
manner in order to give travelers the best
possible mobility offers available?
(2) How could the solutions be better
adapted to actual user needs and wishes,
and how could we make the solutions more
attractive for the inhabitants?
