2. Competition in Public Transport : Essays on competitive tendering and open-access competition in Sweden
Sammanfattning : The results of this work show that the cost efficiency of tendered bus services is similar across all Swedish counties, except for the more high-density counties where efficiency is lower. Considerably lower efficiency is also found for contracts with services run in-house by the Public Transport Authority (PTA), compared to when the same service is run by a private actor. LÄS MER

Express goods are not common on a large scale in freight railway transport systems, as those are often not considered reliable enough for time-critical goods. LÄS MER
