Abstract

Extending individual car transport brings lots of positive effects such as comfort and speed of travel, but also a number of negative aspects such as congested urban agglomerations, a significant increase in air pollutants, higher noise and so on. This problem can only be resolved by a functional passenger transport system with well-functioning public passenger transport as a full-fledged alternative to individual transport, which will meet the needs for the widest possible population.

This contribution defines and analyses the current passenger transport system, including the structure of particular subsystems, a description of the passenger transport chain and travel motives. Subsequently, a set of measures and standards are proposed for improving this system as well as for the general traffic service of the territory. It will also be necessary to rationalize the timetables of particular passenger transport subsystems in the proposal, primarily rail passenger transport as a main transport system.
