| Research Abstract |
From the results of econometric cost analysis, the effect of deregulation is very limited and I couldn't obtain a significant effect on the efficiency of omnibus companies' management. In addition, I found that small omnibus companies operated more inefficiently than larger companies from the analysis of operating cost comaparizon. In fact, omnibus oparators tend to head their operating scale more larger. So I obtained that omnibus operaters required to opetate their business in more proper scale for the sustainability of rural transport management.
From the interview and case study of omnibus operators, I found that omnibus operators' competition by deregulation was not effected in the desired direction necessarily, and some operators were bankrupted not caused by omnibus management circumstances but caused by another businesses. Additionally, I found that such operators were reconstructed by M & A or joining other companies' group.
