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.

In Brazil, the process of industrialization of society has been accompanied by an exponential growth of the resident population in urban centers. Therefore, the need to move people and goods within cities also increases, which can be defined as mobility in the urban context. This issue has fostered many studies that show the importance of developing actions that adequately address the issue of urban mobility, seeking to improve the quality of life in the city. Within this context, this research aims to develop an application for smartphones to provide accurate information about bus schedules for public transport in the city of Alagoinhas - BA - Brazil and consequently provide improvements in user experience. According to the data collected, MobiBus was able to alleviate the inconvenience caused by a long waiting time at the bus stop and made users feel more secure.

Public transportation is one of the sustainable form of transportation which provides mobility options for the people. The public transport services are very basic need of people’s lives, especially in developing world. It is the basic means for mobility of a large percent of people and hence it is the driving force of economic and social life. Quality of service, characterized by the Level-of-Service (LoS) is one of the major factors determining the demand for public transport. This study tries to determine the city-wide Level-of-Service provided by the public transport system using the service level benchmarks as a case study of Trivandrum city. The indicators for determining the Level-of-Service used in the study are presence of organized public transport system, availability or extend of public transport supply, service coverage, average waiting time, level of comfort in public transport and the fleet availability. This approach can be used to determine the LoS at the city-level and thus provides a measure for identifying the public transport quality of an urban area.

The aim of this paper is to determine, based on conducted marketing research, the level of passenger satisfaction with public transport services for the purpose of making better marketing decisions in the example of the City of Belgrade. The main task is to test the hypothesis on the existence of significant influence of factors, such as quality service, attitude and behaviour of employees (e.g. driver), adequate informing, quality of vehicles, line routes and timetable, on passenger satisfaction. Correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used for interpreting the obtained results and examining the formulated hypothesis. Empirical research has shown that there is a significant correlation between the aforementioned factors and passenger satisfaction with public transport services. The obtained results provided recommendations and guidelines for improving and increasing the quality of public transport services. The research results also provide the basis for future research that could examine the relationship between passenger satisfaction with services and sub-groups within the analyzed factors.

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.

The use of private vehicles that increases continuously due to the poor of public transport services is one of the causes of congestion. To solve this problem, the City Government of Banda Aceh provides Trans Koetaradja Bus. The limitations of existing public transport services in the city of Banda Aceh caused the community to attempt facilitate their own movements with private vehicles. So that the development of Trans Kutaraja is faced with the challenge of how Trans Kutaraja is able to attract private vehicle users who are the majority of road user in the city of Banda Aceh. therefore, it is important to know how the user respondses to the service quality of Trans Kutaraja. This study aims to analyze the quality of Trans Koetaradja Bus services and determine the quality of Trans Koetaradja Bus services of attributes that are prioritized based on the perception of the users of Trans Koetaradja Bus by using the Importance Performance Analysis Method consisting of quadrant analysis and gap analysis. From the results of the quadrant analysis the IPA method for Trans Koetaradja users is more focused on the factors that most influence on the quality of bus services. It can be seen from the indicators located in quadrant I (top priority) consisting of indicators such as the availability of trash can at the bus stop, ease of obtaining information related to the route and time of bus arrival, the accuracy of bus travel schedules, time speed spent on bus trips from one point to another and the time period of arrival between one fleet and another.

This paper tries to look at the root cause of low ridership in public transport in the city of Malang, locally known as Angkutan Kota (Angkot), in a kind of non-traditional perspective. The decreasing interest of the people of Malang City towards the use of public transport was presumed partly due to the transportation tax and retribution policies that are somewhat not too restrictive. This study explains that 80% of people in Malang City consider the amount of Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) is cheap and reasonable which is believed to drive people away from utilizing Angkot. On the other hand, surprisingly, parking fees for motorized vehicles for most people are considered quite burdensome. Thus, this study suggests that in addition to the need to improve the quality of public transport services, adjusting the amount of tax and the cost of parking for motorized vehicles in the city of Malang needs to be reconsidered to increase the interest of the people of Malang in using public transport.

The problems of improving the quality of public urban transport services, environmental protection, and public health in large cities and megacities have taken the leading place among the issues on the agenda of public administration bodies, as well as of non-governmental and international organisations.This context determined the study on the significance, modern conditions, problems, and development outlook regarding the urban public transport in Yerevan.Important part of the population of the Republic of Armenia lives in the city of Yerevan. Main economic activity of the Republic, as well as urban and private transport facilities are most concentrated in the capital city. The total number of vehicles circulating in the city on working days exceeds 300 thousand units.Urban public transport of Yerevan plays an important role in ensuring the normal life of residents and guests of the city. At the same time, several serious socio-economic problems are associated with transport, which are aggravating while the economy develops and the volume of cargo, passenger transportation and motorization of the city grows. Such problems, first, include the growth of the number of road traffic accidents, then, serious environmental degradation in the areas adjacent to the highways and in other districts of the city.In recent years, it has become obvious that the solution to those problems goes beyond the competence and responsibility of the city hall or of any single ministry and requires focusing the efforts of the number of government bodies and of the public at large.The objective of the study is to identify the main factors affecting the efficiency and safety of urban public transportation, as well as the impact of road traffic on the environment in Yerevan.Their identification will improve the quality of transport services and transportation safety, as well as reliability of vehicles and of their service properties, reduce their environmental impact, and develop a unified integrated effective and viable system of measures towards a comprehensive and effective solution of transport problems of public urban transport.
