In the Netherlands, public transport planning plays an important role in strategic planning. The Dutch government is pursuing policy changes to ensure sustainable development. The objectives are to raise transit’s share in the modal split and to improve operators’ financial performance. Dordrecht Municipal Authority has taken an integrated approach to public transport planning to complement its urban development strategy. In June 1997 the three-bus system was introduced with the objectives to stimulate ridership and increase revenue: the express bus provides direct, speedy connections with high frequency to serve commuter journeys; the city bus uses liquefied petroleum gas vehicles with 3- to 10-min headways to connect the historical city center with the Central Station; and the service bus improves the connectivity of neighborhoods and enhances accessibility between the suburbs and the city center. The service net is also designed to serve the mobility needs of elderly and handicapped passengers in wheelchairs. The integrated network aims to provide quality service to meet passenger requirements. To finance the new system, an extra fare zone was introduced in January 1998. A research program in three phases has been implemented to monitor and evaluate the effects.

In this article, the goal was to assess spatial accessibility to the parks in Łódż for example of cycling, individual transport and public transport. Parks represent basic units of recreational greenery in the city. (Czerwieniec, Lewińska 2000). In Łódź are 43 parks, which are located mainly in the rail peripheral or right behind her (Jakóbczyk-Gryszkiewicz 2008). To determine the spatial accessibility to the parks in the analyzed city, were calculated the number and percentage of the population, which living in 2016 in isochrones: 0-5; 5-10; 10-15; 15-20; 20-25; 25-30 minutes from the parks. In the study were taken into account the different means of transport - car, bicycle and public. It was found that the most beneficial for the residents of the city is by bike. In the case of 3/4 of the population of Łódż travel time by bike to the park is less than 5 minutes. Bicycle and public transport provide access to the parks, the vast majority of inhabitants of the city in time to 5 minutes, while individual transport in time 5-10 minutes. Most preferably, due to the accessibility for the residents of the city, are located parks in the city center, and behind its borders, in turn, within the rail perimeter. Over there the population density is greatest, unfortunately, a small area of parks.

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.

Resumo: Neste artigo, apresentamos e discutimos uma entrevista realizada, em 2015, com Lúcio Gregori, proponente da Tarifa Zero em São Paulo. Buscamos compreender o surgimento da proposta, nos anos 1990, e seus desdobramentos. Para tanto, são analisadas algumas das manifestações de apoio e resistência à aprovação da proposta, assim como sua formulação técnica, os jogos de interesses nela envolvidos e as modalidades de financiamento que a viabilizariam. São examinadas, igualmente, as características do “negócio” do transporte e das empresas que atuam em tal setor. Situamos a proposta da Tarifa Zero no debate sobre mobilidade urbana, relacionando-a com a luta pelo Direito à Cidade. Além disso, discutimos a hegemonia do transporte individual privado e algumas de suas consequências.Palavras-chave: mobilidade urbana; tarifa zero; direito à cidade; ônibus; transporte coletivo. Urban mobility and the right to the city: an interview with Lucio Gregori on (free) public transportAbstract: In this article, we present and discuss an interview with Lúcio Gregori, in 2015, the proposer of the Tarifa Zero (Zero-Fare Public Transit) Bill. We seek to understand the emergence of the proposal, in the 1990s, and its consequences. Therefore, we discuss some of the expressions of support and resistance to the adoption of the proposal, as well as its technical formulation, the power games involved, and the financing arrangements that would allow it. The characteristics of the “business” of transport and of the companies operating in this sector are also examined. We situate the proposal of Zero-Fare in the debate on urban mobility, linking it to the struggle for the right to the city. In addition, we discuss the hegemony of private individual transport and some of its consequences.Keywords: urban mobility; Zero-Fare; right to the city; bus; public transport.

The park and ride (P&R) parking type is usually located near peripheral public transport stops. These parking places are dedicated to people who, after leaving their vehicle in the parking, continue their journey to the city center using some form of public transport such as bus, metro, rail or tram systems. This article aims to examine the features associated with P&R parking locations in use in Cracow (Poland). The analysis included the number of entries and exits to and from parking during particular periods of the day, week and year, parking time of vehicles, and parking space use. A parking peak hour factor was also calculated, which expresses the crowding degree of vehicle entries/exits in/out parking during a particular period. In addition, the paper presents an analysis of factors determining users to P&R parking use. In the modeling process, logit models were used, which, as stated after analyzing the literature on the subject, were already used in various countries around the world to describe the behavior of P&R parking users. However, so far, such research relating to Polish conditions has been not published in the available literature. The obtained results allowed to state that the most important factors determining the likelihood of using P&R parking in Cracow are age, number of years having a driving license, monthly income (gross), and an average number of trips made during a day. Other variables, which not included in the study, can influence the P&R parking use. However, the presented results are the basis for conducting furtherer, more in-depth analyses based on a larger number of independent variables that may determine the P&R parking use.

The urban environment of many cities in Ukraine is characterized by oversaturation and unstructured information and advertising elements, as well as a lack of information and guidance tools, which leads to some discomfort in the stay of both citizens and guests of the cities of our country. The relevance of this issue encourages researchers in the field of design theory to carefully analyze the evolution of graphical navigation systems for identifying their further development. The infrastructure of public transport in Kharkiv, taking into account the growing number of routes and vehicles that provide passenger transportation, needs to develop a set of visual navigation by means of graphic design. The aim of research reveals the necessity of development the comprehensive design of visual navigation in the infrastructure of public transport in Kharkiv. The results can be used to find the optimal solutions of graphic sign systems that may become the basis of visual communications in a dynamically developing urban environment at present stage. The scientific paper describes some of the foreign projects in terms of forming a visual system for the transport infrastructure of the city. Analysis of world experience in the field of navigation systems and trends in public transport indicates the need for an integrated approach to the development of visual navigation. This is a relevant task, as there is an increase in the share of urban residents, an increase in the number of public electric transport as well as the launch of new transport routes. Based on the analysis of foreign projects «Bristol Legible City», «London Legible City» and «Bath Public Realm & Movement Strategy», aimed at solving the problem of urban visual navigation in Bristol, London and Bath, certain components are identified and characterized that can be used to develop a systematic design concept for navigation in public transport in Kharkiv. Among them are common visual language and navigation system throughout the city; taking into account the aspect of unification, which eliminates the inconsistency between the systems in the city; visual color differentiation for different modes of transport; maps of public transport with geographical reference to the area; visual association of subway maps and other types of urban electric transport. Such components are appropriate in the formation of a comprehensive design solution.

The paper identifies the main problems with parking in Kiev and their causes, analyzes the European experience in organizing a parking system according to the Park & Ride principle, identifies the main goals and principles for designing the intercepting parking for the implementation of this system, and also studies the feasibility of such car parks in Kiev (an experiment to determine the total time spent by passengersresidents of Boyarka when they move in the morning «peak» periods to the central part of Kiev). Object of the study – the general methodological provisions for organizing intercepting parking (Park & Ride systems) and organizing combined trips (individual and public transport) using the intercepting parking at the «Ipodrom» metro station (Glushkov Avenue) in Kiev. Subject of the study – the process of moving passengers-residents of the Boyarka city in the morning periods of «peak» in the central part of the city of Kiev. As shown by the results of the experiment, the use of public transport (metro) to travel around Kiev as an alternative to individual transport allows passengers to reduce time and, more importantly, significantly increase the guarantee of timeliness of travel. In addition, moving along the route of the Boyarka – Kyiv city according to a combined scheme (using public transport when driving around the city, regardless of the area of location), will be economically advantageous. The organization in Kiev of a network of intercepting car parks at the end stations of metro lines («Teremki», «Lisova», «Chervony Khutir» and «Syrets») in combination with other measures (for example, restricting parking on the streets in the city center, introducing parking throughout the city center, a reliable metro network, as well as an improved view / supply of public transport services) will help to reduce the flow of individual cars on the radial trunk streets and in the center of Kiev.

This article is devoted to the formation of theoretical foundations and methodological approaches of scientific coverage of economic and statistical problems of the functioning of urban passenger transport systems. The problematic is considered on the example of the city of Kharkiv. Public transport in Kharkiv is represented by almost the maximum number of types city trams, trolleybuses and metro, as well as private road carriers. The concept of consistency is based on the territorial principle and intermodality. The general indicator of the level of development of the territorial transport system is its balance. Unfortunately, the territorial transport systems of Ukraine are insufficient for the passage of existing traffic flows, and transport infrastructure facilities and rolling stock do not ensure the safe and comfortable movement of individual vehicles, public transport passengers, cyclists and pedestrians. Public transport does not provide all citizens with financially affordable and technically qualitative services and cannot be an alternative to individual cars. Traffic is not sufficiently regulated by existing traffic control means. Operated vehicles have a negative impact on the environment and create traffic jams. As follows from the study, this unsatisfactory state is due to the lack of independence and dependence of communal transport enterprises on subsidies from the city budget, unbalanced state policy in the field of tariff setting, insufficient rates of renewal of rolling stock and transport infrastructure, insufficient rates of introduction of non-cash payment for travel, imperfection of methods and ways to manage enterprises as a single intermodal system. Solving the described problems requires an integrated approach. First of all, this is the creation of a systemic management mechanism to create a balanced territorial transport system. This is what shows the relevance of the chosen topic and determined the choice of the direction of research in scientific and practical aspects. The research results will be used to improve the efficiency of the municipal transport.

The city-port involves a decisive reality for the economic development of the territories and nations, capable of significantly influencing the conditions of well-being and quality of life, and of making the Circular City Model operational, preserving and enhancing seas and marine resources in a sustainable way, through the construction of appropriate production and consumption models, with attention to relations with the urban and territorial system. The Circular Economy paradigm identifies the ideal context in the city-port to rethink traditional development models and make ports driver areas for the regeneration of the city and metropolitan territories, in compliance with the EU Directive 2014/89 which considers maritime spatial planning as a tool for public authorities and stakeholders to achieve an integrated approach, promoting the development of maritime and coastal economies and the sustainable use of resources. The paper, starting from these assumptions, presents an adaptive decision-making process for the strategies development of the Naples (Italy) commercial port, aimed at re-establishing a sustainable city-port relationship and making operative Circular Economy principles.

This paper investigates how housing and public transport planning in Stockholm has been integrated during the past 20 years through multi-level collaboration. Drawing upon how Stockholm has been portrayed in the literature on transit-oriented development (TOD), that is, as a successful case of integrated land use, housing and public transport planning, this paper suggests that multi-level collaboration in Stockholm’s urban transformations has had its own challenges related to de-integration and reintegration. By including an exploration of the development of the metro system since the 1960s and onwards, the more recent processes of de-integration and reintegration emerge as endemic but often marginalised aspects of achieving TOD-like urban development. The paper contributes to previous studies by proposing three modalities of integration: (1) de-integration by agreement, (2) integration by collaboration, and (3) reintegration by intervention. These modes are not evaluative but should rather be used as a point of departure for future studies empirically investigating how integrated planning is achieved in contexts where transit-oriented development is contingent on multi-level collaboration.
