Public service obligation Region and municipalities in their self-government competency 1) set a range of transport services and 2) provide public transport services and their connection. (i) "public service contract" means one or more legally binding acts confirming the agreement between a competent authority and a public service operator to entrust to that public service operator the management and operation of public passenger transport services subject to public service obligations; depending on the law of the Member State, the contract may also consist of a decision adopted by the competent authority: - taking the form of an individual legislative or regulatory act, or - containing conditions under which the competent authority itself provides the services or entrusts the provision of such services to an internal operator; i) "smlouvou o veřejných službách" jeden nebo několik právně závazných aktů potvrzujících dohodu mezi příslušným orgánem a provozovatelem veřejných služeb, jejímž cílem je svěřit provozovateli veřejných služeb řízení a provozování veřejných služeb v přepravě cestujících, které spadají pod závazky veřejné služby; podle práva členského státu může smlouva rovněž sestávat z rozhodnutí přijatého příslušným orgánem: - které má formu zvláštního zákona nebo podzákonného právního aktu nebo - které obsahuje podmínky, za kterých příslušný orgán poskytuje služby sám nebo jejich poskytování svěří vnitřnímu provozovateli;

1) Setting a range of transport services in the Moravian-Silesian region In the Act No 129/2000 Coll., about regions Regional Assembly could determine the range of basic transport services: In public bus transport is determined a basic transport service for the area of the Moravian-Silesian region (in a range of approved valid timetables) for the whole week: in a range of all service lines from Monday to Friday and selected service lines for journey to work (2 pairs of service lines) on Saturdays and Sundays. In railway transport is determined a basic transport service for the area of the Moravian-Silesian region in a range of passenger (local) trains and express trains according to approved valid timetables for the whole week

of the Moravian-Silesian Region 2) Public service contracts Regional Authority of the Moravian-Silesian Region Cities with own urban transport Small towns Regional bus transport Urban transport (bus, trolley, tram) Regional rail transport

Public transport financing URBAN TRANSPORT Passengers: 32 – 60 % of total costs (= sales) The rest (losses): the municipality, except cca 5 - 8 % (Regional Authority + surrounding towns profiting from the systém) REGIONAL BUSES: Passengers: cca 40 – 50 % of total costs (= sales) Regional Authority (80 %) municipalities (20 %) REGIONAL TRAINS: Passengers: cca 33 % of total costs The rest (losses): Regional Authority (only)

2) Public service contracts Moravian – Silesian Region Municipality X City of Ostrava Municipality Y i) "public service contract" means one or more legally binding acts confirming the agreement between a competent authority and a public service operator to entrust to that public service operator the management and operation of public passenger transport services subject to public service obligations; depending on the law of the Member State, the contract may also consist of a decision adopted by the competent authority: - taking the form of an individual legislative or regulatory act, or - containing conditions under which the competent authority itself provides the services or entrusts the provision of such services to an internal operator; i) "smlouvou o veřejných službách" jeden nebo několik právně závazných aktů potvrzujících dohodu mezi příslušným orgánem a provozovatelem veřejných služeb, jejímž cílem je svěřit provozovateli veřejných služeb řízení a provozování veřejných služeb v přepravě cestujících, které spadají pod závazky veřejné služby; podle práva členského státu může smlouva rovněž sestávat z rozhodnutí přijatého příslušným orgánem: - které má formu zvláštního zákona nebo podzákonného právního aktu nebo - které obsahuje podmínky, za kterých příslušný orgán poskytuje služby sám nebo jejich poskytování svěří vnitřnímu provozovateli; public service operators

Decides who pays Conclusions: both – urban and regional transport – are public service = contracted by the regional and local authorities => the public authorities could order the scope (No. of lines, frequency) and quality, as they want (and of course according to financial possibilities) Decides who pays
