In weiterer Folge wurde von den Wiener Linien eine Machbarkeitsstudie samt Zeit- und Kostenplan für eine Modernisierung der Linie U4 erstellt. • Im Zuge der Erstellung der Machbarkeitsstudie für die U4 - Modernisierung wurden die erforderlichen Sanierungsmaßnahmen gemeinsam mit den zuständigen Fachdienststellen der Erhaltung der Wiener Linien evaluiert und nach ihrer Dringlichkeit klassifiziert.

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.
