The relevance of the issue under study stems from the lack of a method and indicators for determining the population’s level of transport mobility. The purpose of the article is to develop a method for assessing the level of transport mobility. The analysis of studies on the quality of transport services has shown lack of attention to mobility as a public transport service for the public. There are currently no science-based criteria for assessing the mobility level of convenience for passengers who use various modes of public transport for their trips. The use of a transport mobility index will improve both the quality of passenger transport and the overall level of transport services. The developed method for assessing the level of transport mobility will allow researchers to look into the dynamics of the indicators and plan improvements to transport service quality. The presence of a welldeveloped metro network (more than one line) in cities provides a transport mobility index above 0.5, according to the study of Russia’s largest cities’ transport mobility index. Following the example of Rostov-on-Don, which has the smallest area of the cities under study, a high transport mobility index of 0.6 can be achieved through optimal organization of public transport within the city and without a metro network. The existence of lengthy dedicated public transport lanes does not guarantee a high index of urban mobility, as in Kazan. This is due to a predominance of bus lanes being introduced in the central part of the city: this does not allow the outlying areas and the city as a whole to be given a high level of transport mobility.

Transport Mobility

The relevance of the problem is due to the lack of a method and indicators for assessing the level of transport mobility of cities. The purpose of the article is to develop a method for assessing the level of transport mobility. Currently, there are no science - based criteria for assessing the level of mobility in terms of the convenience of passengers using various types of public transport for travel. The use of the transport mobility index will contribute not only to improving the quality of passenger transport, but also to improving the level of transport services in General. The developed method for assessing the level of transport mobility will allow you to study the dynamics of changes in indicators and plan measures to improve the quality of transport services. The implementation of the proposed method will allow analyzing routes, as well as planning measures to increase the level of transport mobility and the attractiveness of public transport for passenger transportation.

In spring 2020 the whole world went through the “black swan”—COVID-19 pandemic. The healthcare systems of all countries and the world economy, in general, became very stressed. The extraordinary decline of activity in all spheres, except healthcare, led to a drop in the demand for transport services, including city public transport. It was important for city management to support the sustainability of the local transport system. The article presents fundamental approaches to assessing the sustainability of a transport service, particularly city passenger public transport (CPPT), for the example of the large Russian city Tyumen (size of population—nearly 807 thousand people). Methods of analysis of the sustainability of the transport process in conditions of negative environmental impact (COVID-19 pandemic) are considered. During the period from 30.03.2020 to 31.05.2020 (nine weeks—the acute phase of COVID-19 pandemic) structural sustainability of the CPPT system in Tyumen kept a high level. By changing the parameters of the planned characteristics of the CPPT system state, an attempt to adapt the transport service supply to a sharp decrease in transport demand was made. In the period of “self-isolation”, the demand for the CPPT transport service reduced more than the transport service supply. Sustainability of CPPT functioning was evaluated by calculating the elasticity of the transport supply (number of trips) in relation to the actual demand (actual volume of transportations). Calculation of the elasticity index of the CPPT system of Tyumen during nine weeks of April–May 2020 (duration of “self-isolation“) is provided. A conclusion was made from the results of the research. In particular, it was found that the foreground target function of city management was the maintenance of a high level of transportation processes to the detriment of the transportations’ effectiveness. Such a policy led to contradictory results—the additional financial expenses at the rate of 135–150 million rubles and quite a high level of contentment of the Tyumen population with the quality of the CPPT work (sociological research established that 80–85% of respondents were satisfied with the quality of the transport service in April–May 2020).

A properly functioning public transport is one of the most important components of urban mobility for the population. Due to spatial inhomogeneity and overall socio-economic differences within a city, there are often considerable disproportions in the quality of transport services within its districts. Also, the city of Krakow is no exception in this case. For a comparison of public transport accessibility in 18 Krakow districts, 7 major quantitative and 5 minor indicators were created. These indicators include the most important characteristics of transport services such as accessibility, frequency, connectivity of connections, and ratios of tram public transport subsystem. The resulting values give a fairly comprehensive picture of the quality of the transport services. Overall higher values for most indicators occur in the central districts of the city. However, due to the complexity of the observed characteristics, it is possible to discover significant differences in the structure of individual indicators. Peripheral districts reach higher amplitudes, which means that in some aspect they have even better transport services than the city center. Yet, at the same time, we also find opposite extremes here, highly below-average values for most other indicators. A detailed analysis of the results provides a unique perspective on the disparities among districts. It can also serve for specific identification of strengths and weaknesses of transport services and its possible optimization.

Recently, the sphere of providing motor transport services has become more and more widespread and developed. The number of enterprises and sole proprietors in the market of motor transport services is constantly increasing. At the same time, the level of competition between motor transport service providers is growing, which makes it necessary to improve the quality of motor transport services. After all, a high level of quality allows us to occupy a leading position in this sector of the economy. There is an urgent need to assess the quality of motor services, and it is important to assess their quality from the standpoint of consumers of these services. Distinctive features of methodical bases of carrying out quality assessment at the enterprises of motor transport are defined. In the course of research both group, and individual indicators of quality assessment are established. Quality assessment is the result of the course of perception of quality, which is formed in the process of providing services to the user and is accompanied by a specific assessment of the quantitative degree of compliance of the received service with his expectations. Analysis of existing indicators revealed assessment of service quality. The stages of quality assessment, consistent provision of their implementation and the main basic provisions are determined, based on which a set of methodological approaches to assessing the quality of road transport services can be improved. The levels of evaluation of motor transport services and their content are established. An approach to assessing the quality of road transport service and the implementation of the course of providing services to users, which is based on its identified values in three stages: standardized, consolidated and expanded. The signs of the quality of the course of providing services to users on the basis of "points of conflict" with them are substantiated by two classes of signs: "effective" and "instrumental".

Recently, negative trends towards the environment where the system of Mass Passenger Public Transport (MPPT) operates continue to grow. Mobility and citizens’ standard of living are constantly increasing. A significant increase in using private cars (level of motorization) along with all negative consequences faced under such circumstances as an increase in traffic volume, congestions, a decrease in travelling speed, a higher number of traffic accidents, greater negative influence on the environment etc. can be noticed. The city of Belgrade has recognized the significance of continuous research and has monitored the quality of Mass Passenger Public Transport service as well as changes that are taking place in order to influence some specific parts of transport and traffic policy in the city. This paper contains the benchmarking of results obtained in research and a trend towards changes in the expected and perceived quality of service (QoS) within the system of Mass Passenger Public Transport in Belgrade within the period from 2005 to 2007.

Set Up

Twenty five years ago, the Municipal Transportation Board in Gdynia (ZKM) was launched. As part of the process of changes in the transport service of Gdynia and neighboring municipalities, a unit was created to organize public transport. A specialized urban transport organizer has been set up to improve the quality of public transport services. During the 25 years of operation of ZKM, the level of quality of service has been improved significantly, adjusting the transport offer to the demand and transportation preferences of inhabitants, learned through systematic representative marketing research. Trolleybus transport has been modernized, thanks to trolleybuses having an energy storage tank. Transport services within the network of ZKM are carried out by operators owned by the City of Gdynia and competing private entities. Before ZKM there are challenges related to the constantly increasing expectations of the inhabitants in terms of quality of service and the changing conditions of their service in the situation of strong development of motorization and implementation of the policy of sustainable urban transport development. The article presents the tasks and scope of activities of ZKM, bus, midibus, microbus and trolleybus transport organized by ZKM, operators contracted by ZKM, supervision and regulation of traffic in the transport network of ZKM, transport service of mass events by ZKM, marketing research conducted by ZKM, customer service by ZKM, quality evaluation of ZKM services and future challenges standing ahead of this unit.
