The aim of this research is to explore the current urban transportation system of a megacity, Karachi. It was done by analyzing the Public Transport (PT) route network and commuter’s mode choice along with mode share. Four major arterials were selected for the study. Data was collected through field surveys and questionnaire-based survey. PT system of Karachi mainly consists of buses and minibuses. It was found that PT has 16% share in mode choice of Karachi’s travelers, which is less than most of the metropolitan cities in the world, and it has been decreasing constantly over the years. Most of the private vehicle users consider PT to be inefficient and uncomfortable. However, there is a willingness to use PT modes if they can provide at affordable prices. The current PT users are captive and women riders, which are bound economically or culturally to use these modes. Other sustainable modes of transport such as car-sharing and walking do not have significant share in mode share as well. Focused awareness campaigns for promotion of these modes should also be initiated.

The public transportation fare in a city is an important determinant of accessibility, equity, and quality of life for its citizens. This article makes a comparative quantitative analysis of the fare of the public transportation system in the city of Bogotá (Colombia), its evolution over time, and the impact on the poorest users. It compares with similar systems in Latin America and other cities in the world. The findings show that the fare has had high growth in US dollars (USD 0.38 in 2000 to 0.75 in 2024), but the purchasing capacity has increased with respect to the local minimum wage (10.84 tickets with a minimum daily wage, versus 14.69 in 2024). This rate is one of the highest in Latin America and has a high impact on lower-income citizens, since the purchase of 50 monthly tickets is equivalent to 15% of the local monthly minimum wage.

Global trade and social relationships are greatly facilitated by transportation. However, the majority of nations, including Bahrain, face substantial challenges with their transportation systems. For the development of technical solutions that can promote the progress of these transport systems, it is now crucial to have a complete understanding of travel demands and driver's characteristics. This paper aims to explore the influential factors concerning travel mode choice in Bahrain and utilize mode choice models to forecast the probable utilities of various future public transport modes. The study utilizes diverse, 3864 data records extracted from previous surveys as well as a recent one conducted within this research. Subsequently, using Minitab software, two types of mode choice models were built, namely the logit model and the classification tree model, focusing on modelling the future transportation system, considering potential public transport modes (Public Bus, Metro, and Tram). The analysis of the data identified trip cost as the top predictor, moreover, direct, and quick travel, accessibility, and convenience were also found to significantly influence the choice of travel mode in Bahrain. Additionally, the findings indicate that the metro is the preferred choice for future public transport, with a strong preference observed for a combination of metro and tram. The research also suggests, in terms of model performance, that when capturing more complex patterns, as in this study, the classification tree outperforms the multinomial Logit model. Overall, the research provides valuable insights into mode choice in Bahrain and highlights the important factors influencing commuting decisions. The results of this study can support the development of an efficient public transportation system that would satisfy the needs and preferences of commuters in Bahrain and ultimately lead to a sustainable and accessible transportation infrastructure in the country.

Public transportation usage in Delhi has declined, with the Delhi Metro having a significant share. However, due to fare hikes and COVID-19 restrictions, the DM's share has been decreasing further. To improve ridership, a study is being conducted to evaluate the DM's performance and identify areas for improvement in passenger convenience and comfort. The Magenta line is investigated through an on-board survey to collect primary data. The survey covers commuter perceptions of safety & security, financial & economic factors, infrastructure & comfort and functional & operational features. The Relative Importance Index approach is used to analyse the data and evaluate DM performance. An ANN model is also presented to determine the factors influencing the choice to travel on the DM, with the “metro fare per trip” factor being a key consideration. Based on the analysis results, recommendations are made to improve the DM's performance. The study found that safety and security had the highest RII, followed by efficiency and viability, functional and operational features, infrastructure and comfort, and financial and economic factors. The subway fare had the lowest RII. The ANN model is adapted to understand the reasons behind low metro ridership.

Public transport focuses on meeting the transport needs of people both within the city and in the suburban area. Passenger transport is a key element of sustainable development and improving the quality of life in agglomerations because it provides mobility for residents and tourists. In recent years, residents have become increasingly willing to use public transport. However, this trend was disrupted as a result of global changes taking place in the years 2019 - 2022. The aim of this publication was to analyse and assess the impact of crisis situations on the implementation of transport processes using the example of public transport in Warsaw. It has been shown that events such as the COVID-19 pandemic or the war in Ukraine also had a significant impact on the functioning of transport processes in Warsaw public transport. The study made it possible to identify recommendations aimed at securing the operation of public transport in the event of similar threats in the future.

Many researchers have explored public transport assignment methodologies employing transport modelling software. Nevertheless, there remains a gap in evaluating real-world public transit networks utilizing diverse assignment procedures within Visum software. This paper introduces a thorough comparison of algorithms involved in public transport assignment processes, using the transport model of the city of Kryvyi Rih in Ukraine. The three scenarios of the model were developed depending on the public transport assignment procedure: headway-based, transport system-based utilized to all links, turns, and major turns in the network graph, and transport system-based applied only to the links, turns, and major turns traversed by the active public transport lines. The model of the network comprises 13 transport systems, 7 transport modes, 27598 links, 10097 nodes, 83270 turns, 238 zones, 1748 connections for private transport, 3013 connections for public transport, 534 stops, 1165 stop areas, 1190 stop points, 130 lines and 218 line routes. The transport demand model encompassed 14 demand segments. Compared to the outputs of the model calculation using the headway-based procedure, in the scenarios with transport system-based assignment, passenger flows on rail tram lines significantly decreased. Also, the results of scenarios with transport system-based assignment showed that the passengers extremely use parallel streets for travel from an origin to a destination. The modelling outputs for an actual urban network illustrate that the choice of the shortest route in the transport system-based assignment is closely linked to the main urban roads. This circumstance could potentially result in a rise in the number of transfers needed to sustain accessibility to districts residing far from the central highway.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to present the changes in the use and basic advantages of social networks in the communication of public transport companies in voivodship cities. Design/methodology/approach: The study carried out consisted of analysing the content of the official websites belonging to the selected public transport service companies in order to see how the information on the social networks used (location of plug-ins) is shared, and a review of the active profiles on these sites was carried out to diagnose what content is published. The survey was conducted in October 2023. The results were cross-referenced with the corresponding survey carried out in 2017. Findings: The survey showed that of the 24 companies analysed from 18 cities, 20 use at least one of the social networks. The most common is Facebook - 19 companies have a profile, followed by YouTube - 9, Instagram - 7 and Twitter 5. 2 companies have profiles on 4 sites at the same time, 4 on 3 sites, 11 have 3 official profiles on different social networks, another 7 companies have 2 each and also 7 have one each. In the case of 4 entities, no profiles were found on social networks. The content, frequency and timeliness of publications on the profiles vary. Research limitations/implications: Social networks that were less popular at the time of writing (e.g. TikTok - official profiles were identified in 2 cases among the companies surveyed) were not included in the study. The objectives of the communication strategies of the individual entities are not known. This may be part of further research through in-depth interviews with those responsible for promoting the companies. It may also be possible to extend the research to other operators (e.g. inter-municipal, railway, smaller cities, etc.) and among the target audiences of the communication activities in particular services. Practical implications: On the basis of the author's audit of the communication activities of public transport companies on social networks, this article suggests that the use of social media is an appropriate tactic in the communication of companies (including municipal companies), both in the promotional dimension externally and in communication with citizens - service users, due to the participatory, interactive and open nature of social media. Originality/value: The publication presents the results of research carried out on the basis of the author's audit of the activity of the public transport companies from the voivodship's cities in the social media.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to examine if there is a correlation between the level of prosperity of Polish regions and their transport network. Design/methodology/approach: Literature studies were carried out, statistical data were analyzed, as well as selected case studies. Findings: There is a clear correlation between regions GDP and their transport network. Research limitations/implications: The author also sees interesting directions for further research in the future - related to the interconnection of macroeconomic and transport indicators. Practical/social implications: With the rapidly increasing level of motorization, the question of the efficiency of public transport is returning. While the role of public transport in urban centres is undisputed, it is much more difficult for agglomeration, metropolitan and regional transport to organise an efficient (cost and spatial) transport network. Thus, many questions arise: about the way of organising transport at the local government level or the possibility of financing. The author reviews two key public transport sub-systems: regional rail and air transport, and analyses the basic data on regional development, looking for interconnections. Originality/value: An attempt to link economic indicators (GDP level) with transport indicators (infrastructure use, passenger transport statistics).

Accessibility to public transport is a very important factor in determining the general transport accessibility of a given area. Commonly, the bus is the only alternative solution for a car in mobility. However, it is not possible to ensure the same level of possibility of traveling by bus for each location. As a consequence, there may be areas excluded from the service when there are not enough bus connections. On the other hand, the presence of the main transport routes (e.g., regional and national roads), as well as railways, significantly increases the possibilities of mobility with the use of public transport. The aim of the article is to diagnose direct bus connections in the Wrocław agglomeration but only between the immediate surroundings of Wrocław and itself as a core. One of the secondary aims is to identify areas with limited access to those connections and to propose solutions to the diagnosed problems. Two rings of municipalities around the city have been designated as the area of the Wrocław agglomeration as the immediate surroundings of the core. The main research method is the analysis of collected numerical data and using the empirical Bayesian Kriging method to determine areas of different levels of accessibility to bus transport. In addition, the capabilities of PTV Visum made it possible to perform modeling of bus connections. The 2021/2022 timetables of bus connections providing direct access to Wrocław were taken into account. The results of the study are proposals for solutions that may constitute directions for the development of passenger bus transport in the Wrocław agglomeration in order to improve the accessibility of bus transport within the Wrocław agglomeration.

Novel technologies have resulted in the unprecedented and dynamic development of transport systems - one of the most important sectors of the economy. The implementation of smarter commuting solutions, in order to improve the processes of transportation, allows for cost and energy saving, better organization of time, and, as a result, an increase in quality of life. Also, this supports the operationalization of the sustainable development concept, enabling a compact and efficient urban transport system to be developed. The purpose of this paper is to analyze smart urban mobility development prerequisites and challenges, taking Gdynia city public and shared transport users’ preferences and transport behavior as a case study. A research hypothesis has been formulated stating that most commuters have sufficient digital competencies and benefit from the available modern technological solutions contributing to smarter and more sustainable urban development. The obtained results prove the importance of the role the digital world plays these days and show how the impact of technology on the transportation sector has helped to develop new opportunities for urban mobility.

The paper addresses the development of public transport (PT) in rural areas in the context of the implementation of the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) concept. This paper aimed to indicate whether and how rural areas can use the MaaS concept to develop PT and improve transport accessibility. The financing model for the operation of collective PT in the example of Poland was analysed. The case study Pomeranian Voivodeship was selected due to the strong influence of the Tri-City agglomeration, which does not directly include western parts of the region such as Słupsk County. Several research methods were used: desktop research, case study and GIS analysis. The results highlight that the MaaS concept has the potential to be implemented in rural areas; however, this will be a long-term process and will require advanced cooperation between local authorities, private operators and service providers. This process is dependent on measures being taken to support the use of MaaS at a national level. From the inhabitants' perspective, such changes are a positive direction for PT.

W artykule przedstawiono ciekawy przypadek rywalizacji różnych technicznych koncepcji rozbudowy, a potem zastąpienia tramwajów konnych we Lwowie w latach 1888-1893. Dyskutowano wówczas, tak w Radzie Miejskiej, jak i w lokalnym środowisku technicznym, na temat wprowadzenia w mieście tramwajów elektrycznych, ale też i parowych, gazowych i innych. Spór był zażarty i przebiegał w atmosferze pośpiechu, gdyż na rok 1894 zaplanowano we Lwowie organizację Powszechnej Wystawy Krajowej, która wymagała transportu z centrum miasta na plac powystawowy, ale także poszerzenia zakresu transportu miejskiego. W grę wchodziły interesy zarówno przedsiębiorstwa tramwaju konnego, jak i gazowni, które starały się zablokować powstanie elektrycznej konkurencji. Szczególnie aktywny w dyskusji był wybitny fachowiec, prof. Roman Gostkowski, który często wygłaszał wykłady oraz publikował artykuły naukowe i popularne na ten temat. Początkowo opowiadał się on za tramwajami elektrycznymi, ale potem zmienił zdanie i propagował tramwaje gazowe. Ważne głosy w dyskusji należały do prof. Romana Dzieślewskiego i Juliusza Hochbergera, którzy szczegółowo i precyzyjnie opracowali studium dowodzące wyższości tramwaju elektrycznego nad konnym. Ostatecznie w 1894 roku wprowadzono we Lwowie tramwaje elektryczne zasilane z napowietrznej sieci trakcyjnej. Był to jeden z pierwszych takich systemów transportu miejskiego w tej części Europy. Artykuł oparto głównie na prasie z epoki, a także na źródłach archiwalnych oraz literaturze przedmiotu.

The article presents an interesting case of the rivalry between various technical concepts for supplementing and eventually replacing horse-drawn trams in Lviv in the years 1888-1893. At that time, both the City Council and the local technical community discussed the introducing electric, but also steam, gas, and other types trams in the city. The clash was intense and took place under pressure, as Lviv was scheduled to host the Galician Land Exhibition in 1894, which required transport from the city center to the exhibition grounds, but also an extension of the city’s transport system. The interests of both the horse-drawn tram company and the gasworks, which sought to block the emergence of electric competition, were at stake. Particularly active in the discussion was the eminent professional, Professor Roman Gostkowski, who often gave lectures and published scientific and popular articles on the subject. Initially, he advocated electric trams, but le later changed his mind and promoted gas trams. Important voices in the debate belonged to Prof. Roman Dzieślewski and Juliusz Hochberger, who produced a detailed and precise study proving the superiority of the electric tramway over the horse-drawn tramway. Eventually, in 1894, electric trams powered by an overhead catenary network were introduced in Lviv. This was one of the first such urban transport systems in this part of Europe. The article is based mainly on period press, as well as on archival sources and literature on the subject.

Przesunięcie modalne, czyli zapewnienie rosnącej przewagi konkurencyjnej zrównoważonych trybów podróżowania jest najprecyzyjniej wycelowanym komponentem polityki zrównoważonej mobilność miejskiej. W planach mobilności, z konwencjonalnej formuły rezultatu planistycznego, podział modalny staje się konceptualną formułą normatywną zadania transportowego. Budując jego hipotezę, należy ocenić pozycję i możliwości transportu publicznego. Wiąże się z procesem zmian w zagospodarowaniu terenów oraz w regułach organizacji, udostępniania i wykorzystania różnych środków mobilności. Z uwagi na trwałość zainwestowania w artykule skupiono uwagę na miastach opierających swój rozwój na transporcie szynowym w rdzeniu i obszarze funkcjonalnym. W pierwszej części, biorąc pod uwagę syntezę paradygmatu zrównoważonej mobilności, przedstawiono dylematy i propozycje definicyjne, aspekty metodyczne i kulturowe, konteksty źródłowe - w tym też drogowskazy praktyk operacyjnych, jako wsparcie do analizy problemów przesunięcia modalnego w krajowej praktyce. W ciągu ostatniego dwudziestolecia dokonano w Polsce znacznego skoku jakościowego miejskiego transportu publicznego. Czy brak progresu frekwencji pasażerów, rosnąca konkurencja aktywnych form podróżowania, rozwój technologii są zagrożeniem czy wyzwaniem? Jaki jest potencjał komunikacji szynowej dla podejmowania alternatywnych strategii operacyjnych? Jaka jest przyszłość transportu publicznego w warunkach zmieniających się reguł gry w systemie mobilności? Przesłanki dla odpowiedzi na te i inne pytania w dalszej części artykułu zawierają propozycje zasad ukonstytuowania transportu publicznego w strategiach, planowaniu i metodyce.

EN

Modal shift, i.e. the provision of an increasing competitive advantage of sustainable travel modes, is the most precisely targeted component of sustainable urban mobility policy. In mobility plans, from a conventional planning outcome formula, the modal split becomes the conceptual normative formula of the transport task. When developing its hypothesis, it is necessary to assess the position and possibilities of public transport. It involves a process of change in land-use and in the rules for the organisation, provision and use of the different means of mobility. Due to the sustainability of the investment, the article focuses on cities that base their development on rail transport in the core and functional area. In the first part (chapter 2), based on a synthesis of the sustainable mobility paradigm, dilemmas and definitional proposals, methodological and cultural aspects, source contexts - including signposts of operational practices - are presented as support for the analysis of modal shift problems in national practice. Over the past two decades, a significant qualitative step forward in urban public transport has been made in Poland. Is the lack of progress in passenger volumes, the increasing competition of active forms of travel, the development of technology, a threat or a challenge? What is the potential of rail transport for undertaking alternative operational strategies? What is the future of public transport under changing rules of the game in the mobility system? The rationale for answering these and other questions is provided in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 proposes principles for embedding public transport in strategies, planning and methodology.

Pruszków to średniej wielkości miasto powiatowe w województwie mazowieckim, będące jednocześnie największym miastem satelickim aglomeracji warszawskiej. W drugiej połowie XX. wieku Pruszków pozostawał jednym z większych ośrodków przemysłowych na Mazowszu [1], zapewniając tym samym zatrudnienie dla znacznej części jego mieszkańców. Skutki transformacji ustrojowej zaowocowały koniecznością zmiany miejsca zatrudnienia na Warszawę. Taki stan rzeczy utrzymuje się do dziś, co, wraz ze wzrostem demograficznym Pruszkowa, zrodziło potrzebę zorganizowania komunikacji miejskiej zapewniającej efektywny dojazd do stacji kolejowych PKP PLK oraz WKD. Artykuł analizuje sposób funkcjonowania transportu publicznego pod kątem integracji środków transportu oraz wykazania możliwości rozwoju systemu i infrastruktury transportowej w obrębie miasta. Celem zdiagnozowania problematyki tematu przeprowadzono ankietyzację internetową. Analiza preferencji mieszkańców wykazała potrzebę modyfikacji rozkładów jazdy oraz układów linii, wdrożenia większej integracji taryfowej oraz wprowadzenia nowoczesnych technologii, takich jak aplikacje mobilne z bieżącą lokalizacją autobusów oraz interaktywne tablice przystankowe prezentujące realny czas oczekiwania, a także ogólnej poprawy infrastruktury pasażerskiej w obrębie przystanków węzłowych. Powyższe postulaty dowodzą konieczności zmian. Aktualnie organizowany transport publiczny ma potencjał efektywnego wykorzystania przy zastosowaniu stosunkowo niedużych nakładów finansowych. Artykuł dowodzi, że można to uzyskać, implementując część rozwiązań stosowanych w innych miastach europejskich.

EN

The article analyzes the way public transport functions in terms of integration of transport modes and demonstrating the possibility of developing the transport system and infrastructure in the city. An analysis of residents’ preferences showed the need to modify timetables and line layouts, implement greater fare integration, and introduce modern technologies such as mobile applications with real-time bus location and interactive bus stop boards showing actual waiting times, as well as general improvements in passenger infrastructure within hub stops. The above-mentioned points demonstrate the need for change. Current organized public transport has the potential to be used efficiently with relatively little money. This article demonstrates that this can be achieved by implementing some of the solutions used in other European cities.

The article discusses the accessibility and comfort of public transport for children and seniors, highlighting their particular needs. Challenges related to safety, ergonomics and infrastructure are presented, as well as the importance of education on transport use. The role of on-demand systems and EU funds in creating more accessible services, especially in rural areas and small towns, is highlighted. The article emphasises the need to eliminate architectural and technological barriers that make travel particularly difficult for children and seniors. It underlines the need for training for transport staff to better understand the needs of these groups and the importance of empathy in passenger service. Positive changes in infrastructure were also pointed out, thanks to EU funding, which enables rolling stock to be modernised and transport accessibility to be improved in rural areas. The conference ‘Children and seniors in public transport - a task for FEnIKS’, which inspired the article, pointed out that inclusion in transport is a key element of social justice and well-being for residents, and must not depend on age.

The world's transition to more environmentally friendly transportation modes has attracted attention to the importance of electric vehicles in reducing the negative environmental impacts of transportation. In Nigeria, where transportation services are primarily fueled by petrol and diesel, CO2 emissions amounted to approximately 27 million in 2020. Recently, two electric buses and a charging station were launched as proof of concept for a project aimed at supporting the transformation of Lagos public transportation to a carbon free mobility system. Considering that Lagos is currently dealing with rapidly increasing urbanization and a growing transportation industry, the integration of electric vehicles promises tremendous benefits but requires careful evaluation. This study therefore evaluates the feasibility of electric vehicles in Nigeria, using Lagos as a case study. The study uses a multidimensional approach involving questionnaires, interviews, inspections, and the development of an Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) model. With an OEE of 51%, results indicate that the use of electric mass transit buses is sustainable. However, in order to achieve more significant impacts and better performance of the buses, it is necessary to improve the quality of public transportation and integrate renewable energy sources in Nigeria. Overall, this study contributes to the advancement of the ongoing project in Lagos, fostering a paradigm shift towards cleaner and more environmentally friendly mobility in Nigeria. Furthermore, the study promotes the development of an inclusive and broadly applicable methodology for evaluating and advancing transportation solutions globally.

Światowa transformacja w kierunku bardziej przyjaznych dla środowiska środków transportu zwróciła uwagę na znaczenie pojazdów elektrycznych w ograniczaniu negatywnego wpływu transportu na środowisko. W Nigerii, gdzie usługi transportowe są głównie zasilane benzyną i olejem napędowym, emisja CO2 wyniosła około 27 mln ton w 2020 r. Niedawno w Lagos uruchomiono dwa autobusy elektryczne i stację ładowania, jako pilot transformacji transportu publicznego w system mobilności bezemisyjnej. Z uwagi na fakt, że w Lagos obserwowany jest wzrost urbanizacji i transportu, rozwój elektrycznych środków transportu wydaje się korzystny, ale wymaga oceny w zakresie skuteczności eksploatacyjnej. Celem pracy jest możliwość oceny skuteczności eksploatacyjnej elektrycznych środków transportu miejskiego na przykładzie Lagos. W przeprowadzonych badaniach zastosowano kwestionariusze, wywiady, inspekcje i model oceny efektywności systemu (OEE). Wskaźnik OEE na poziomie 51% wskazuje, że wykorzystanie elektrycznych autobusów w komunikacji miejskiej jest akceptowalne. Stwierdzono, że w celu uzyskania lepszych wskaźników OEE, konieczne jest podniesienie jakości transportu publicznego i zintegrowanie odnawialnych źródeł energii z ukierunkowaniem na czystszą i bardziej przyjazną dla środowiska mobilności w Nigerii.

Choć art. 35 Ustawy z 11 stycznia 2018 r. o elektromobilności i paliwach alternatywnych wchodzi w życie dopiero 1 stycznia 2025 r. (zapewnienie przez JST 30% elektryków we flocie pojazdów), a art. 36 – 1 stycznia 2028 r. (30% w przypadku autobusów), podmioty zobowiązane muszą już teraz przygotować się do zapewnienia co najmniej 30-procentowego udziału tego typu autobusów we flocie obsługującej ich obszar. Ustawa o elektromobilności spotyka się z krytyką ze strony ekspertów, którzy wskazują na brak przygotowania Polski do jej szybkiego wdrożenia.
