Definition short distance : 8 Personenbeförderungsgesetz Öffentlicher Personennahverkehr im Sinne dieses Gesetzes ist die allgemein zugängliche Beförderung von Personen mit Straßenbahnen, Obussen und Kraftfahrzeugen im Linienverkehr, die überwiegend dazu bestimmt sind, die Verkehrsnachfrage im Stadt-, Vorort- oder Regionalverkehr zu befriedigen. Das ist im Zweifel der Fall, wenn in der Mehrzahl der Beförderungsfälle eines Verkehrsmittels die gesamte Reiseweite 50 Kilometer oder die gesamte Reisezeit eine Stunde nicht übersteigt. Art. 8 of the German Passenger Transport Law defines public short-distance passenger transport as (1) the generally accessible and scheduled transport of passengers by tramway, trolley buses and motor vehicles, whose predominant aim is to fulfil the transport needs in the context of urban, suburban or regional transport. If in doubt, this is the case if the total travel distance does not exceed 50 kilometres or the total travel time does not exceed one hour in the majority of the transport cases of a means of transport.
