Tramp bus
Tramp buses are part of the normal regular service in local public transport ( ÖPNV ). They also offer the option of letting passengers alight along the route between the stops or even off the route. Under certain circumstances, it is also possible to get on from the roadside after a show of hands. Trampbuses are a useful addition to the offer, especially in sparsely populated areas or at times of low transport demand. These options can also be used for night traffic , as many passengers (especially women) do not want to walk long distances in the dark. Similar offers can be made by calling lines , especially collective call taxes, that transport their passengers to their front door.
However, according to Section 42 of the Passenger Transport Act (PBefG), regular services generally require fixed stops - tramp buses are therefore not permitted. According to § 2 (7) PBefG, however, a four-year approval for practical testing of new means of transport is possible. According to this experimental clause, tramp buses were tested from 1990 to 1994 at the Pinneberger Verkehrsgesellschaft (PVG) and from 1991 to 1995 in regional transport in Schleswig-Holstein . Trampbuses were tested by the Zweckverband Verkehrsverbund Oberlausitz-Niederschlesien (ZVON) until 2012 .
Hold on request
With the additional offer of getting off between the stops in public transport , which is also known as stopping on request , a passenger can get off at certain times (usually in the evening) between the regular stops if he has notified the driver of this request in good time and the exit after this Decision under legal and safety-relevant points ( no stopping outside the edge of the lane, at right-of-way signs , in the event of snow / ice / slip, at construction sites or other dangerous points) appears feasible. The procedure is usually offered on the bus or call / line taxi lines of urban local transport companies. Using it, you can avoid longer journeys home in the evening, especially in rural areas with longer stop intervals. Most public transport companies can only get off the bus at the front door (except for wheelchair users, passengers with prams, etc.). The tariff for the next stop is used.
In sparsely populated countries such as Scandinavia , stopping on demand has been common for decades.
