Description
Summary:Abstract The pandemic represents a break in the positive development of public transport. The users’ fear of infection could have a lasting negative effect on public transport. This article presents the opportunities and potentials of mobility as a service, with a focus on demand responsive transport.

Acquisition and ownership costs are determined on the basis of an operating simulation.
