Abstract

Traffic peaks are peaks in cost. This in particular holds for rural counties, where the organization of public mass transportation is focused on the demand of pupils. About half to two third of pupils in rural areas take a bus to get to school. Most of them are integrated in the public bus system, a minority is transfered by special purpose school buses. In all cases the respective county in which the pupils live is responsible for the transfer, meaning that the county administration pays the fees. Since tax money is a scarce resource, the administration has great interest in reducing these payments.
