Market Entry Barriers for Commercial Services

Abstract

After decades of stagnation, the market for commercial public bus transport services in Germany is heating up, with observable competition on the rise. As explained in Sect. 4.4.3, the competitive market for commercial services is based on market initiative by operators and is distinguished from the competitive market for non-commercial services and from the market segment in which contracts are awarded, without tendering. The essay presented in this Chap. 10 asks whether the current level of competition is satisfactory and provides evidence of a thriving competitive environment, or whether it indicates the existence of barriers to market entry. If entry barriers are impeding more dynamic market development, the question arises where they can be identified.
