Social conditions in bus and coach transport in Europe

The scientific study analysed the economic trends in road passenger transport by buses and coaches, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of these developments on the social conditions of bus and coach drivers in the sector. In addition, the study researched the extent to which national and EU regulations and especially social dialogue and collective labour agreements (CLAs) in selected Member States shape and improve the social and working conditions of drivers in the sector. In addition to the study, a further product of the project was a toolbox which provided examples of good practice that addressed challenges posed by negative developments and improved working and employment conditions of bus and coach drivers.
