Transport activities are a significant factor in environmental pollution, especially in cities. Therefore, measures aimed at electrification of public transport are particularly important. The aim of the paper is to present the origins, status and development dynamics of electromobility in Polish cities, especially the second generation of electromobility, i.e. vehicles that do not require continuous connection to the energy source. In practice the second-generation electric vehicles can be identified with battery-powered vehicles, hydrogen and hybrid vehicles. The study was prepared on the basis of an analysis of literature, industry documents or development strategies. In addition, a database of information on zero- and low-emission vehicles in public transport (i.e. electric and hybrid buses) was compiled to analyse the phenomenon. The study shows that the implementation of electromobility in Poland has already emerged from the initial phase. The possibilities for developing battery technology vary in cities of different sizes. In 2021 in Poland, the share of low-emission buses in the public transport fleet was several times higher than that of electric vehicles among passenger vehicles. It is most likely that the Polish road to electromobility leads primarily through public transport. The following factors influencing the development of electromobility were identified: these were primarily EU and Polish legislation and regulations, the presence of manufacturers of rolling stock and electrotechnical equipment, and – at the local scale – organisational, economic and social issues.

The aim of the paper is to compare the scale of regional train cancellation in Italy and Poland in the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic and to answer the question whether different approaches to public transport limitation can be observed at national and regional scales in different European countries. The article is a preliminary study and as such contains the first observations and initial conclusions. From the analysis it results that the influence of COVID-19 on regional railway transport in both Italy and Poland is strong but much different. In Italy the scale of cancellation is generally larger and so are the differences between the regions. In both analysed countries the lines which have turned out to be mostly affected by suspension are urban and suburban connections with dense train traffic. It would seem that in Italy exactly as in Poland the train cancellations are more the result of the character of the operated rail system, the different approaches to regional rail transport and of the tendency to cut costs than of the actual epidemic situation in the regions.

Celem artykułu jest scharakteryzowanie możliwości wprowadzenia i rozwoju środków miejskiego transportu szynowego Polsce. Z problemem tym wiąże się pytanie, czy w celu poprawy funkcjonowania komunikacji zbiorowej w miastach już posiadających system transportu szynowego (względnie w ogóle elektrycznego) należy rozważyć jego rozwój, podczas gdy w przypadku ośrodków pozbawionych takiego transportu pojawia się kwestia zasadności wprowadzenia nowego środka szynowej komunikacji miejskiej. W celu odpowiedzi na te dylematy w pierwszym etapie pracy scharakteryzowano nowe systemy szynowego transportu miejskiego wprowadzone w miastach europejskich w ostatniej dekadzie, natomiast w drugim dokonano analizy potencjalnych możliwości polskich miast w zakresie rozwoju takich środków transportu. Z podjętych badań wynika, że transport szynowy może być właściwym rozwiązaniem problemów komunikacyjnych miast, jakkolwiek możliwości jego rozwoju w polskich miastach są zróżnicowane w zależności od wielu czynników demograficznych, gospodarczych, przestrzennych i politycznych. O ile w polskich miastach o charakterze metropolitalnym pytanie brzmi: jaki system transportu szynowego rozwijać?, o tyle w ośrodkach średniej wielkości wyzwaniem jest samo utrzymanie istniejących sieci. Zasadność i realność implementacji nowych systemów zależy natomiast od koordynacji działań wielu instytucji różnych szczebli i od wsparcia na poziomie krajowym i europejskim.

The purpose of the article is to characterise the possibilities of introducing and developing of urban rail-based transport in Poland. This problem is related to the question whether in order to improve public transport in cities which already have a rail-based (or any electric) transport system, its development should be considered, while in the case of cities without such a transport there is the question if introducing a new means of public rail-based transport is an appropriate solution. In order to answer these dilemmas in the first stage of the present article, new rail-based urban transport systems which have been introduced in European cities in the last decade are characterised, while in the second stage the possibilities of introducing of such means of transport in Polish cities are analysed. The research results demonstrate that rail-based transport may be a proper solution to transport problems of cities, although the possibilities of its development in Polish cities vary depending on many demographic, economic, spatial and political factors. In the largest Polish cities which can be described as metropolises the question is: what sort of rail transport system should to developed ?, in medium-sized towns, however, the challenge is rather to maintain the existing networks. The legitimacy of the implementation of new rail-based urban transport systems depends on the coordination of the activities of many institutions at various levels and from support at the national and European level.
