- That and OF transportation is subject tons strong fluctuations (CHANGE OF that and): There of acres substantial differences for the Verkehrsunternehmer, more whether the vehicles (penalty or streetcars or railways) around 8:00 Uht or around 10:00 clock tons used. There is vacation times and it gives the “Rush Hour”. The vehicle fleet around 8:00 clock (Schulbeginn) is strongly stressed and also many reinforcement travels provide, while after 8:00 clock usually uses a calming.
- Traffic services are not storable as service (Nichtlagerfähigkeit or Immaterialität): A traffic service cannot be produced on supply, It must be furnished at the time, for that it is needed (UN actu principle). Hereby the traffic market differs for example from production from machine parts.
- The capacities of transport enterprises orient themselves at the demand points: During the production time (Rush Hour) all employed passengers and pupil must reach equally Iihr a goal. But many vehicles and driver must be reproached.
- That and OF the traffic capacity acres unmatched (CHANGE OF that and): Into the more passport-closely traffic is it often like that, the traffic streams run that around 8:00 clock into the one direction, around 16:00 clock run the traffic current into the against set direction. This means for the assigned vehicles and the assigned personnel that the return trips are mostly empty accomplished.
- The traffic capacity always needs an external factor: For a traffic capacity the necessity for the integration of an external factor exists. The person the one traffic capacity in requirement takes, does not drive not with the means of transport because it is there, but the actual intention is that reaches a goal like e.g. the working place, school, friends, leisure facilities. Therefore the traffic capacity lets itself through Marketing measures only conditionally increase. One is rather on it dependent, on the external factors too react.
- The national influencing control on the traffic market is very high: For a transportation of passengers also Motor vehicles is necessary a concession. For this the conditions must after that Transportation of human beings-set to be kept. Very with difficulty a line is to be driven on for a NON agent. The concessions, tariff permission necessary for it and those which can be provided Transport conditions are a large Challenge for new transporting enterprises.
- The fixed costs are very high in the transporting enterprise: The fixed costs consist in the passenger traffic mostly of the personnel expenditure. Mostly also from that Initial costs for the vehicles. It plays thereby no role whether the vehicles are in use or not (example “Rush Hour”. The vehicles must to be reproached and the personale one not be able after the point time will simply dismiss. The fixed costs in Are appropriate for transporting enterprise with mostly approx. 80%.
- In the Verkehrsgewerbe there is a large capital freeze: The capital requirement for the vehicle fleet, the acquisition and the personnel expenditure amount to approx. 60%.
- The necessity to the Infrastrutkurellen cross-linking: The public personoperate must stops and stations start. This is a disadvantage to Individual traffic.
