The quality of public transport is becoming increasingly important for the good functioning of the city system. The article deals with the possibilities of motivating car users to use public transport in small and medium-sized cities. It seeks a balance between the comfort that public transport must meet and the efficiency of operation that public transport must maintain. It shows that good public transport organization, especially line optimization, can reveal large reserves. It explains the benefits of a suitably laid out network of lines and corresponding timetables for passenger comfort, as well as the benefits for the efficiency of public transport operations. It thus provides guidance for the management of cities in the field of public transport. The optimization of line management and timetables is documented on the practical example of the city of Trnava.

The public urban transport market takes the form of a natural monopoly. In some cases, especially in the situation of supply of a relatively large volume of operation work, the implementation of competitive solutions may result in: improving the quality of services or reducing the cost of vehicle-kilometers. The purpose of the article is to present the determinants of functioning of regulated competition on the public urban transport market in Poland. The conducted analysis focuses on the issue of market openness and access to participation in competitive procedures of private operators. The research covered urban transport markets in cities over 200.000 inhabitants and their characteristics in the scope of: the model of public transport organization (with particular emphasis on the level of opening of markets), the level of competition on the operator market and the method of selecting operators. On the basis of the conducted research, the scope of applying pro-competitive solutions in the scope of contracting services by the largest organizers of public urban transport in Poland was characterized.

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.

Public transport plays an increasingly important role in satisfying the transport needs. Travellers’ requirements regarding the quality of services are increasing. In addition to passenger comfort, other parameters are important (timetable and the state of transport infrastructure). Therefore, methods that determine the appropriate organization of public transport for an area should be sought. The purpose of the article is to present the most commonly used optimization methods and tools that have been applied to the chosen problems of organization of public transport mainly in Poland (described in the articles of mainly Polish scientists), but against the background of global research. The article characterizes the functioning of public transport in Poland. The selected problems of public transport functioning, which can be solved by using optimization methods and tools were discussed. The chosen methods that were used to formulate and solve the identified problems were indicated. The effects of this article will form part of the work on the POIR.01.01.01-00-0970/17-00 project "IT system for computer-aided public transport planning" financed by the National Centre for Research and Development.

This article discusses the organizational and economic problems of the functioning of public transport in the city of Novosibirsk using the example of the Municipal treasury enterprise ‘Passenger Motor Transport Enterprise No. 4’. The main objective of the study is to find ways to solve problems which arise at this enterprise and which are common for urban passenger transport in a large city. The article analyzes the results of the enterprise, as well as the transport situation in Novosibirsk. The growth of the private car fleet significantly worsened the state of the urban environment in most cities of Russia and created a number of difficult to solve problems. Based on the study of solutions to similar problems in other cities and countries, the conclusion is drawn about the need for the accelerated development of urban passenger transport in comparison with other modes of transport. The search for effective ways to influence the behavior of transport users will make it possible to create a ‘healthy city’ that forms the necessary safety and quality of life for citizens.

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.

The article considers the main approaches to the analysis of motivation in the management of transport behavior of the inhabitants of megacities. A number of surveys of urban residents confirm that the level of traffic is one of the main problems facing society. Concepts for managing the demand for passenger traffic in the world's cities are considered. The goals, objectives and measures of the concept of traffic demand management are defined and structured. Cities around the world are looking for opportunities to switch drivers from private cars to public transport. Psychological determinants (attitudes, acceptance, interests), which are important but hidden variables in the analysis of transport behavior of megacities, are substantiated. Among them, the content is completely unexpected, those that are not considered in domestic scientific sources to assess the quality of urban transport (and are just beginning to appear in foreign studies). Personal factors of transport behavior (re-choice of route) are considered from the standpoint of a new scientific trend - behavioral economics. Improving the quality of services also determines high ratings of satisfaction and consumer value. Consumer value suffered mainly from the sacrifices of passengers. Based on the findings, a number of management measures were proposed. The TDM concept is one way to manage the demand for transportation. Managing demand for transportation is not a panacea, but it helps solve transportation problems in the city. An analysis of the availability of opportunities to motivate people to use public transport more often (with an acceptable value of the perceived quality of travel). Among the conditions and motives for the transition to the use of public transport to replace the car should be noted: the strength of the impact on the person; unconditional quality of providing basic and additional services when traveling in the city; creation of a person's stable personal beliefs (environmental, sense of their own city, etc.); providing transport information in real time. Fear of loss of time, increased costs, accidents, violation of private space (crowding) is also a strong motive for changing transport behavior.

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.
