UITP position on the draft regulation on passenger rights for bus/coach Ulrich Weber, UITP-EuroTeam European Bus and Coach Forum Kortrijk 16 October 2009

Overview  High quality local/regional public transport: integrated multimodal networks  The current COM proposals and local/regional public transport  A possible solution: The UITP Passenger Charter

High quality public transport through multimodal integrated networks  Regional/suburban trains, tram/metro, bus, ferry/boats  Integrated tickets, integrated information  Quality management

COM proposal on bus/coach transport – main problems for local/regional PT  Modal approach of COM does not take into account integrated public transport networks  In general: proposal is focused on long distance transport and does not take into account specific characteristics of local/regional PT  Rather short distances, many stops, often high numbers of passengers, many period-ticket holders, no booking of seats, no separate loading of luggage, etc.  It should be under the responsibility of competent local/regional authorities (regulation 1370/2009) to define and finance quality and passenger rights in local/regional transport

COM(2008)817 passenger rights bus/coach - Joint transport industry proposals- Joint IRU, ECTAA, ETOA and UITP proposals (joint press release 4 May 2009):  To exclude urban, suburban and regional bus transport from the scope of the regulation  To find appropriate solutions for passenger rights based on a serious impact assessment and a sound balance between interests of passengers and operators

COM(2008)817 passenger rights bus/coach - Current discussions in the Council -  UITP has made further detailed text proposals to the current discussions in Council (Council working paper from 3 September)  In order to take better into account characteristics of local/regional bus transport and  In case of possible result on article 2.2 (scope): „Member States may exempt urban, suburban and regional bus services from the scope of this regulation“

COM(2008)816 passenger rights waterborne transport - Political Agreement Council from 9 October -  UITP welcomes the political agreement  Scope has been redefined: most waterborne public transport services in urban areas and on short distances will be excluded  Ships with not more than 36 passengers or with not more of three crew members or passenger services over distance < 500 m  Council should now find a similar solution for bus dossier and leave the definition of passenger rights under national/regional/local responsibility

A possible solution: The UITP Passenger Charter  For multimodal public transport networks  Developed in 2006  Recommended to all UITP members  Rights and obligations  UITP is willing to further elaborate this initiative in the context of the activities of the Action Plan on Urban Mobility

The UITP Passenger Charter - Content -  Safety/Security  Customer information  Reliability/punctuality  Cleanliness  Journey comfort  Accessibility  Customer comments and complaints  Customer obligations
