After the transportation of human beings law (§45 PBefG) the transporting enterprises are obligated, to grant for pupils and training a special reduction. This reduction amounts to 75% of the price for a “regular ticket”. Meant is thereby in practice, that a pupil monthly map approx. 3/4 of the price of a Monatskarte to cost may.
Since this is an obligation of the transporting enterprises, those the state with the permission of the tariffs examines, naturally also a balance requirement exists for the transporting enterprises. The complex topic of the famous §45a transportation of human beings law fills whole books. The expert one will know ' s, and/or. becomes if necessary. make well-informed in the technical literature.
The transporting enterprises receive the compensation, the appropriate achievements furnish, usually the concession owners of a line (thus not the order entrepreneurs). The balance achievements apply only to the trainees' traffic, Tickets for kindergarten children do not fall under the §45a PBefG. In practice one experiences more frequently, that kindergarten children actually during a travel in the regular regular transport service with a regular Monatskarte for the adult the travel the kindergarten make. In order to go around the conflicts resulting from it, find kindergarten travels particularly frequently in renting traffic or released traffic instead of and not as regular Linienfahrt.
The balance achievements become according to the formula
((cases of transport x middle travel width x cost set) - incomes)/ 2) = balancing amount
determined and 31.05 must up to. each yearly for the preceding year at the responsible authority (depending upon Land of the Federal Republic that is the district governments, Head of the provincial government, Groups, etc.) to be requested. The payment of the balance achievements takes place in two payments equal in size to 15. July and to 15. November.
The balance achievements do not correspond to the difference between the pupil monthly map and the normal Monatskarte, as the unaquainted one might believe, due to the calculation formula other amounts come out. The balance achievements vary naturally strongly from the respective conditions of a transporting enterprise. Mostly a transporting enterprise 1/3 can, some even up to 2/3, the incomes from the balance achievements after §45a PBefG generate (probably that, the one concession possesses).
In the Eisenbahnverkehr the §45a PBefG does not apply, since the whole transportation of human beings law applies only to the road. Into the Eisenbahnverkehr the general railway law (AEG) reaches. Due to the §6a AEG also at railways balance achievements are paid. There are however to the road some important differences:
Details to the requirement are regulated for the range railway in the statutory order “reconciliation of in common-economical achievements in the Eisenbahnverkehr (AEAusglV).
The Lands of the Federal Republic have for their part statutory order over the definition cost-corrode issued.
For navigation enterprises on the rivers and lakes your passenger traffic and every now and then also social components in its tariff assortment likewise operate have, thus also maintain trainees' traffic, receive no balance achievements. Exactly the same as for air traffic there is no statutory order or a law, a such requirement on balance achievements for ships or airplanes grants.
- To railways the federal state law applies. The responsible authority for the treatment of the balance request is the respective traffic Ministry of the country.
- To railways apply others cost-corrode.
- The mileage rate (middle travel width) is fixed at 8 km.
- The balance achievements apply ONLY to land railways. The railways AG as federal railway go out with the conveyances empty.
