All European countries have large areas characterized by low population density, where agriculture and small-scale industry often play a predominant role. Here transport services are often restricted and this can affect the quality of life of the local inhabitants, so that an infrastructure and public transport system that can compete with motor car flexibility is required. The aim of the publication is to propose solutions to the lack of public transport in low population density areas, and these solutions should take socio-economic, environmental and energy saving considerations into consideration. Some of the solutions offered are the use of multi-purpose vehicles, transport coordination, removal of organizational barriers, the use of computer and communication technology and methods of decreasing energy consumption within the field of transportation. Motives for the development of public transport are also dealt with. (AB)
