Trips as required
Implying, if there isn`t a requirement i.e. people waiting to go, a trip doesn`t take place. If people are waiting, it goes at the next half or full hour.

Thankyou - I think the important word here is `Bedarf´. No Bedarf = No Go. A skeleton service runs regardless of Bedarf.

: can also be an irregular or on-demand service, but here it looks like a regular but reduced service - so either skeleton or reduced.
