There is a need to strengthen public transport in the peripheral areas, where the passenger base is not sufficient to maintain the same route and service as in the rest of the country. It is important that there is an offer of public services also in areas where there are often no alternatives to the local bus, for example when students at youth education are to be at school.

The parties therefore agree to set aside a total of EUR 57 million in total. DKK in each of the years 2013-2017 to collective traffic in the outer areas.
