As was stated in the report by our colleague Markus Ferber in the context of postal services, so also with public transport, it remains the case that "the tried and tested funding instrument for universal services in the Member States in the past has been the reserved sector and there has as yet been little experience with other funding models".
Tāpat kā mūsu kolēģa Markus Ferber ziņojumā par pasta pakalpojumiem, arī attiecībā uz sabiedrisko transportu jāatzīst, ka „pārbaudītie un izmēģinātie finansēšanas instrumenti universāliem pakalpojumiem dalībvalstīs agrāk ir bijis noslēgts sektors un pieredze ar citiem finansēšanas modeļiem pagaidām ir neliela.”
