A former investigation in Denmark has shown that there are many buses on country routes or in small towns, and at special times of the day, who carry so few passenger that it can hardly pay to run them, especially when one considers the amount of energy consumed. Bus traffic in these areas has been investigated with the aim of discovering new ideas that could result in the service provided coinciding with the demand. It is suggested that routes and timetables should be adjusted in order to meet these demands and that it should be possible to order a bus by telephone or get hold of a taxi that could carry 8 passengers. Investigations, and suggestions for improvements of routes and the situations of busstops covering the whole of Denmark are described in detail and illustrated with maps and diagrams. (AB) 55 refs.
