Application: “A technical and economic feasibility project” Project Manager (after Session on WP 4 …): “Only one part of marketing?”
The questions according to the Application: • How can linking of centers of labor be organized? • Can the economic efficiency of the RegioTram beincreased, and what demand may be predicted? • What effects on the attractiveness of Kassel mayarise, and what role may the hubs Kassel-Wilhelms-höhe and Kassel-Hauptbahnhof play in this process?
The questions according to the Project Manager: • Shouldn’t we better put the journey into the centerof our research? • Does linking of centers of labor by rail-basedsystems make sense? (For us? For our customers?) • What is and may be the part of rail-based systemsin an overall strategy? • How do we have organize public transport in orderto make it attractive for employees and cost efficientfor us? • What do we have to do to sell the product?
Does linking of centers of labor by rail-basedsystems make sense? • Are we competitive? • Do we have capacities? • What do the employees need? • Can we provide that in acceptable economic terms? • What kind of marketing is needed to sellpublic transport? (After this morning: Where doesMarketing start at all?)
