July 27, 2018 Abstract In 2016, the largest operator in the German interurban bus industry, Flixbus, acquired its major rival, Postbus. We study the effects of that takeover using route-level data covering more than 6,000 routes. We find that Flixbus, on average, provided a lower fre- quency of bus rides and slightly decreased prices after the takeover. This indicates that Flixbus pursued a strategy of preemption: to decrease residual demand for Postbus, Flixbus offered a high number of bus rides. After the takeover, Flixbus decreased the supply of transportation services and lowered the prices to compensate the consumers for the resulting increase in inconvenience costs.1 JEL codes: L11, L41, L92, K21, K23 Keywords: Competition, Takeover, Interurban Bus Services, Brand Proliferation, Entry Deterrence ∗Chair for Industrial Organization, Regulation and Antitrust, Department of Economics, Justus-Liebig- University Giessen.

    CASPT 2015 Infotainment in Intercity Bus Services - Customer Require- ments Analysis and Conceptual Design Joachim R. Daduna · André Richter · Stefan Voß Abstract: This paper aims at identifying the customers’ requirements towards a possible infotainment system implemented in intercity buses in public transport. Based on the customer requirements analysis a concept of an infotainment system is presented and assessed with regard to selected aspects and criteria. In addition, con- clusions are derived whether infotainment could be an advantage in competition and could increase customer loyalty. Methods of empirical research and direct question- ing with questionnaires were used to survey customers of intercity buses. Results reveal preferences towards an infotainment system in intercity buses such as internet connections via Wi-Fi, multimedia content from a digital media centre, real-time passenger information and information app content. The study offers an overview on necessary technical infrastructure for passengers’ usage and passengers’ ability to pay for infotainment services. Also bus manufacturers and intercity bus service providers get information on customer requirements and preferences towards an infotainment system as well as a financing and implementation concept to increase competitive advantages and customer satisfaction.

Other Travel Resources Travel Information for Austria A. Transportation Information Vienna Vienna International Airport (VIE) Web: www.viennaairport.com. The airport is located about 30 minutes from central Vienna. It is a well-connected hub, and you can expect to find several flights to get you here. It is also well-connected to downtown Vienna. To and From the Airport Vienna’s public transport system is one of the most efficient in the world. The metro system (U-Bahn) is clean and very quick and trams and buses are punctual. A one-trip ticket, standard for all forms of public transport, is available from ticket booths (Vorverkauf) at U-Bahn stations and from tobacconists. If you’re making more than two trips a day you should invest in a travel pass (Netzkarte), which allows you to travel on all forms of public transport within the city limits. You can buy a 24-hour ticket, a 72-hour ticket or a weekly pass. By commuter train: The S-Bahn is the commuter rail that will provide the most convenient connection to the city center. Look for the S7 line, then hop on the train to Floridsdorf, get off at Wien Mitte- Landstraße; it will take about 25 minutes to reach the city center from the airport. Once you are in the city, take the U-Bahn to wherever you would like. The station for the commuter train is one level below arrivals.

  • Finding the Silver Lining in the Financing of the Services of General Economic Interest: How the Fourth Altmark Makes It Harder?
    Master Thesis in European Competition Law and Regulation Finding the silver lining in the financing of the Services of General Economic Interest: How the Fourth Altmark makes it harder? by Irene Hadjiyiangou Supervised by Dr. K.J. Cseres ABSTRACT: The treatment of the Services of General Economic Interest has garnered an increasing number of academic commentary following the Altmark ruling. By creating four broadly defined criteria the Court succeeded not only to put the monitoring of SGEI high up on the list of priorities of the European Commission, but also to create a hype in regards to their interpretation and applicability. This thesis explores the fourth and most challenging Altmark criterion and seeks to clarify its scope of application. What is more, it attempts to shed some light as to the developments that the Commission has adopted throughout the years, and how they shaped the current context of SGEI. Due to the relatively new status of the Altmark criteria, and the evolving nature of the State aid rules on SGEI, there is a shortage of comprehensive analysis that is solely focusing on the unique prominence of the fourth criterion.
