The system comprises at least one guidance means for at least one transport means an/or for people, several recording units and a central unit. The central unit is connected to the recording units and the guidance means. The recording units are for determining the number of people located at a particular time and in a particular spatial area such that the central unit can control the guidance means depending thereon, in order that the appropriate number of vehicles is automatically provided with the necessary frequency and to guide passengers to the vehicle entrances.
