Abstract

Buses are characteristic for Hungarian interurban traffic. This paper has the key objectives of determining the economically feasible point of reselling the buses. The paper is based on Hungarian data. The paper highlights the importance of operation of public transport vehicles and the optimum solution for minimizing their costs. Hungarian operators try to achieve this goal, although this is not easy due to their limited resources. Because of the present national economic situation in Hungary buses are operated much longer than it would be economically beneficial. Unfortunately the acquisition of newer buses is a slow process. All these problems significantly increase the losses of our interurban public transport companies.
