Mutual transport involving a railway undertaking, together with another public transport undertaking, shall be regulated by direct tariffs under these Regulations with derogations resulting from the variety of transport; Such derogations may not, however, change the provisions of these Regulations on liability.
Additional provisions. Derogations.
The railway can issue additional provisions after approval by the supervisory authority.
The supervisory authority may, looking at specific circumstances, approve derogations from the provisions of these Regulations for certain lines, stations, trains, vehicles, transport or objects, as well as methods of transport; Such derogations may not, however, change the provisions of these Regulations on liability.

Transport duty. Private cars.

(a) if the transport conditions are satisfied, in particular where the stations (branch offices) in which the contract of carriage is to be negotiated and terminated have sufficient justification for the dispatch, as determined by the tariff;
(b) where transport is possible by regular means of transport;
(c) where transport is not prohibited by legal provisions or by measures taken by authorities for reasons of public policy;
