  8. Incentives in Contracts – Case 150S • Increase in passengers = increased satisfaction ! • The agreement • Income 10 kr. per customer • Quality index < 800 pays 0 kr. per new customer • No passenger maximum for bonus • Each quarter add up separately • New customers finances extra service • Arriva/Movia share campaign costs • Actions taken • Significant increase in number of departures • Arriva funds ”stop hosts” and Internet • Media campaign to improve image • Bikes on the bus • Customer involvement (7.000 sms) • The driver is captain (improved working conditions)

Incentives in Contracts – Results 150S • Lessons learned • There has to be a market potential • The line should have a high number of passengers • Drivers want to contribute • Drivers absence due to illness decreases • Increasing number of passengers is possible • Increasing number of passengers is a target that everybody understands • Each campaign gives inspiration for improvements • Improvements responding to costumer needs is the key to growth • It’s a never ending process

  10. Incentives in Contracts – Next Generation • Increase in passengers = increased satisfaction • But we need to measure it ! • Create the framework for cooperation between PTA, Operator, Municipality • Still focus on increase in number of passengers • Spread out 150S experiences • Adjusted customer satisfaction survey • Make it the operators business to attract new customers • Operators actions: • Reliability • Environment • Travel time • Local business
