The article describes public transport co-modality for sustainable development of a public transport system. New strategies are needed to make the city public transport more efficient, more accessible and more sustainable. There are some concepts described in the article. The concepts are illustrated with practical examples - how it is possible to increase the capacity of infrastructure and what has been done in the city of Riga for public transport sustainable development. Key benefits of each concept are also described. A more efficient use of city space, allocated to transport improves the overall performance of all the passenger transport system. The paper presents the concept of aid - a base graph approach to calculate the territory assigned to the particular stop of public transport for the cost optimization. Efficient planning and better use of infrastructure, as well as passenger-friendly interchanges and good traffic management, allocated to public transport, bring the public transport system towards sustainability.
