With the dynamic socio-economic development of cities, actions of key importance have become necessary to ensure the required accessibility of urban transport. This goal can be achieved by expanding and modernizing the transport infrastructure and expanding the public transport network. It is transport that ensures the flow of goods and the movement of people in cities and beyond their borders. This state of affairs results in an increased importance of appropriate infrastructure, where construction investments have a fundamental role, and the method of their implementation affects a number of areas that significantly determine transport accessibility. This article aims to assess the impact of construction projects involving civil engineering facilities on transport accessibility based on the example of the city of Szczecin. The research process is based on unstructured observation and expert interviews, which allow for the development of a structured survey questionnaire. The authors manage to identify the elements of transport accessibility that are most negatively affected by construction projects. The collected data may constitute a basis for developing recommendations for local authorities and construction companies to reduce the diagnosed negative impact in the studied area.

The aim of this article is to identify the best practices to reduce potential risks in passenger transport using the example of urban public transport in Berlin. Due to dynamically progressing urbanization processes and the related development of the German capital, the demand for transport services increases. A significant problem has become the coordinated management of public transport for passengers and ensuring safety in the means of transport and available infrastructure. Local government and public transport managers in Berlin have decided to introduce solutions to reduce potential threats to public transport participants, thereby contributing to improving the quality and safety of the transport services provided. The methods of source analysis, descriptive analysis, and deduction are used to conduct the analysis in this study. The results show that the constant search for new solutions to transport problems is a challenge for city managers in the era of rapidly progressing urbanization processes.

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.

Women, particularly in developing countries, rely heavily on public transport for their daily commute. This study explores the safety and security of women using ride-hailing services in Gauteng. Specifically, the study seeks to understand women’s experiences using ride-hailing services, which might influence their mobility. This study employed a constructivist research philosophy, utilizing qualitative, semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences of women who use ride-hailing services. The study findings reveal several disturbing incidents reported by female passengers using ride-hailing services; however, it is important to note that not all drivers exhibit inappropriate behaviour. Some drivers make inappropriate remarks, while others exhibit rude behaviour. The study found that some drivers use longer routes, leading to higher fares, which can be seen as exploitation. The study also reports some incidents where ride-hailing drivers almost kidnapped some female passengers, indicating a severe safety concern. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on gender and transport studies, providing empirical evidence on the experiences of women using ride-hailing services in Gauteng, South Africa.

The concept of influencing changes in transport behavior towards sustainable mobility, which is gaining popularity in the 21st century, is free public transport (FFPT). It is estimated that the number of cities in which attempts were made to introduce FFPT exceeds 100. Most of them are located in Europe, especially in France and Poland. FFPT has mostly been restricted to specific city areas or market segments in the hope of increasing demand for public transport services. Because of this, a number of publications on free fare results refer to specific cases in cities. The main aim of this article is to examine the impact of free fares on the behavior and transport preferences of pupils in Gdynia, Poland. On the basis of the study of preferences and transport behavior of the inhabitants of Gdynia, carried out earlier by the team in 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2018, a preliminary description of the behavior and transport preferences of students was prepared. The research of the pupils was conducted twice: before and after the introduction of free travel entitlements. The results of the research carried out, and the data analysis, confirmed that FFPT had no impact on demand for public transport services or the travel behavior of pupils. According to the authors, the lack of positive effects of FFPT on travel behavior in the segment of students, or even more broadly, for achieving the purposes of sustainable mobility, results from the interaction of the following factors: specificity of students' travel behavior determined by the schedule of school activities, pupils' positive attitude to cars as urban transport means, not covering all means of public transport services of FFPT in Gdynia (the city rail is not covered by FFPT), short period of time since FFPT has been introduced. The results of the presented studies could not be verified due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors emphasize that before introducing FFPT, politicians should rely on the analysis of anticipated changes in the behavior of residents and the impact of FFPT on the economy of public transport, sustainable mobility goals and political and social results. This article complements the current knowledge on the results related to the introduction of FFPT for a selected group of residents.

The article presents the expectations and needs of urban public transport customers in terms of obtaining up-to-date information about the possibility of reaching a specific destination using an available means of public transport. The main aim of the article is to analyze the usability of websites and applications for urban transport customers. The research was in the form of a case study and was limited to the Poznan agglomeration. Both heuristic research and survey research were selected to assess customer satisfaction in the study. Webpages and mobile applications were taken into consideration since either could be chosen by the users to acquire information about public transport systems. The research was based on the model of usability, including group as well as elementary criteria. Compared to previous studies, it can be concluded that the user ratings for particular groups of criteria were more diverse. This may have resulted from different expectations, but also from users’ previous experience of the currently available applications. In addition, it was claimed that website authors overload websites with information that is of secondary importance to customers, making it difficult for them to access crucial information. Some of the changes focused primarily on improving the aesthetics and visual attractiveness of the webpages. Moreover, some mobile apps are not fully developed and updated on an ongoing basis. In addition, users noted that subsequent modifications in the developed applications do not necessarily lead to an increase in the usability of the services.

W artykule przedstawiono oczekiwania i potrzeby klientów miejskiego transportu zbiorowego w zakresie uzyskania aktualnej informacji o możliwości dotarcia do określonego celu za pomocą dostępnych środków transportu publicznego. Głównym celem artykułu jest analiza użyteczności stron internetowych i aplikacji dla klientów komunikacji miejskiej. Badania miały formę studium przypadku i ograniczały się do aglomeracji poznańskiej. Do oceny satysfakcji klientów wybrano zarówno badania heurystyczne, jak i badania ankietowe. Pod uwagę wzięto strony internetowe i aplikacje mobilne, ponieważ użytkownicy mogli wybrać jedną z nich w celu uzyskania informacji o systemach transportu publicznego. Badania przeprowadzono w oparciu o model użyteczności uwzględniający kryteria grupowe i elementarne. W porównaniu do poprzednich badań można stwierdzić, że oceny użytkowników poszczególnych grup kryteriów są bardziej zróżnicowane. Może to wynikać z odmiennych oczekiwań, ale także z wcześniejszych doświadczeń w korzystaniu z aktualnie dostępnych aplikacji. Ponadto stwierdzono, że twórcy serwisów przeładowują je informacjami, które dla klientów mają drugorzędne znaczenie, utrudniając im dostęp do istotnych informacji. Część zmian skupia się przede wszystkim na poprawie estetyki i atrakcyjności wizualnej stron. Ponadto niektóre aplikacje mobilne nie są jeszcze dopracowane i na bieżąco aktualizowane. Należy też dodać, że użytkownicy zauważają, że późniejsze modyfikacje w tworzonych aplikacjach nie prowadzą zwykle do wzrostu użyteczności usług.

Poznań jako ważny ośrodek miejski jest atrakcyjny dla nowych mieszkańców, oferując możliwości nauki, rozwoju i znalezienia satysfakcjonującej pracy. Jednak znacząca liczba przyjeżdzających osób wybiera obrzeża miasta lub sąsiednie gminy jako miejsce zamieszkania, realizując marzenie o domu z własnym ogrodem. Komfort posiadania domu za miastem wiąże się jednak z koniecznością pokonywania dłuższych dystansów do szkoły czy pracy, poświęcając przy tym sporą ilość czasu i energii. Dobowe ruchy migracyjne pomiędzy miastem a gminami sąsiadującymi przy znaczącym udziale indywidualnego transportu samochodowego powodują duże zatłoczenie i ograniczenie dostępności stanowisk postojowych. Celem artykułu jest ocena skuteczności polityki parkingowej miasta oraz dokumentów programowych, ustalających kierunki rozwoju czy ewolucji miasta w odniesieniu do miejsc parkingowych. W treści wskazano powody zatłoczenia Poznania, scharakteryzowano podstawowe działania, które mają na celu uwolnienie obleganych miejsc postojowych w centrum, oraz dokonano analizy badania ankietowego użytkowników samochodów osobowych korzystających z przestrzeni miejskiej, które ma na celu wskazanie, czy założenia programowe kształtują zachowania komunikacyjne kierowców.

Poznań as an important city is appealing to new residents and can offer opportunities to education, personal and family development and to find an interesting career. However, majority of incoming people choose suburbs or suburban counties as a place of residence, making their dreams about a house with a back garden come true. Unfortunately, one of the trade-offs of having a house outside of the city is associated with longer commuting to work or school on daily basis, which takes time and energy. Daily traffic between the city and neighbouring counties contributes heavily to overall traffic congestion and availability of parking spaces in the city. The article’s goal is to assess the effectiveness of the city’s parking policy and program documents, which set the development direction or evolution of the city in relation to parking spaces. My thesis consists of reasons for the traffic congestion of Poznań, review of the basic actions aimed at freeing the busiest car parks in the city centre and research based on a survey of car users using urban spaces, which aimed to show whether the relevant program assumptions have influence over the transport behaviour of drivers.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of fare integration on the demand for public transport and the role of IT technologies and cash-free payments in this process. The paper presents the results of a critical literature review of studies conducted in this area so far. This approach enables the integration of theoretical and empirical findings, and perspectives of fragmented and interdisciplinary studies. Fare integration in cities is one of the factors that increase the demand for urban public transport services. This results from an improved image of public transport, easier promotion of services, more eligible passenger information, and easier use of services due to the uniform regulations and fares. In addition, for travelers, fare integration means cheaper services because they do not need to buy separate tickets corresponding to various organizers or carriers. The implementation of solutions from the field of fare integration is also related to costs; one can primarily mention the transaction costs and those related to the introduction of new solutions into the sales systems. The increase in the demand for public transport services due to the implementation of fare integration, results in external benefits that affect the sustainability of city transport systems and, thereby, justifies the funding of it by the public sector, which is accountable for ensuring efficient public transport.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, public transport played a crucial role in maintaining essential services while ensuring the safety of both passengers and staff. As the world gradually resumes operations, the impact of the pandemic is expected to persist for some time. Existing studies focus on virus transmission in vehicles, with limited knowledge about post-pandemic passenger flow, safety, and satisfaction. This paper presents a model of passenger movement in public transport, considering factors like boarding times, movement within stops, and the impact of crowding and delays. To reduce transmission at bus stops, we developed a simulation-based passenger flow model using PTV Vissim. The program was used to simulate passenger exchange scenarios, using data collected from real data. The goal was to create a model that minimizes the risk of infection. By understanding passenger flow and interactions with the public transport system, effective measures can be implemented to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

Podczas pandemii COVID-19 transport publiczny odegrał kluczową rolę w utrzymaniu podstawowych usług, zapewniając jednocześnie bezpieczeństwo zarówno pasażerów, jak i personelu. W miarę jak świat stopniowo wznawia działalność, oczekuje się, że skutki pandemii utrzymają się przez jakiś czas. Istniejące badania koncentrują się na przenoszeniu wirusów w pojazdach, przy ograniczonej wiedzy na temat przepływu pasażerów, bezpieczeństwa i satysfakcji po pandemii. W artykule przedstawiono model poruszania się pasażerów w transporcie publicznym, biorąc pod uwagę takie czynniki, jak czas wejścia do pojazdu, ruch w obrębie przystanków oraz wpływ zatłoczenia i opóźnień. Aby ograniczyć przekazywanie zakażeń na przystankach autobusowych, opracowaliśmy model przepływu pasażerów oparty na symulacji przy użyciu PTV Vissim. W programie przeprowadzono symulację scenariuszy wymiany pasażerów, wykorzystując dane zebrane z danych rzeczywistych. Celem było stworzenie modelu, który minimalizuje ryzyko infekcji. Rozumiejąc przepływ pasażerów i interakcje z systemem transportu publicznego, można wdrożyć skuteczne środki ograniczające rozprzestrzenianie się Covid-19 i innych chorób zakaźnych.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic revealed societal challenges, with passenger transport rapidly experiencing the impacts of the virus and the evolution of the concept of safety in transport. Evaluating the likelihood of viral transmission within transportation systems may be a substantial challenge, considering the complex processes that influence the incidence of random transmission events. This paper introduces a method for determining the probability of pathogen transmission in public transport, focusing on the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The study draws on scenarios from the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland, a period that was devastatingly marked by the lack of available vaccines. This study aims to add value to the scientific community by offering an estimation of the likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in public transport and a preliminary risk assessment for COVID-19 infection, considering the number of active, non-isolated COVID-19 cases in the Polish population. The potential of this approach was demonstrated through a comparison between two different categories of passenger transport in a city bus. Based on the presented case study and the calculated probability of pathogen transmission, it is estimated that the probability of SARS-CoV-2 infection during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland through the use of public transport was approximately 0.05%. Probability estimations based on elementary events, which can vary depending on the service category (for instance, the form of ticket purchase, availability of seating or standing places, or ticket inspection), can reveal even the smallest differences in the total likelihood of pathogen transmission. However, these minute individual variations significantly impact the total metrics calculated for daily users of public transport. For effective monitoring of potential epidemic threats and for designing suitable interventions and restrictions to lower the risk of future pandemics, it may be necessary to understand the role that transportation systems, particularly public transport systems, play in the spread of pathogens.

Intermodal practices are related to the use of several distinct modes of transport during the same displacement. This study analyses the articulation between institutional transport insured by motorbike taxis and the Lomé Transport Company (Sotral) in Grand Lomé. In particular, it explores two intermodal practices between both actors, mainly the drawdown and broadcasting of Sotral users on/and from bus stopping, the main intermodality points after the bus stations in Grand Lomé. The methodology relies on a mixed approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection and analysis. The first descriptive approach has allowed us to observe the phenomenon, to reinforce knowledge through the analysis of documents, and to obtain actors’ opinions. The second quantitative approach is based on the interviews carried out with drivers and motorbike taxi and bus users, the counting of broadcasting and drawdown modes at the stopping points, and the mapping of the study area as well as the Sotral network. The results show that the current facilities of Sotral bus stopping points do not encourage/promote the interaction and/or cohabitation between different modes of transport, such as motorbike taxis. These infrastructures are out of phase with the intermodal practices of the population of Grand Lomé, who use artisanal and structured public transport in their daily movements. In fact, motorbike taxis do not have a dedicated facility for drop-off/pick-up of passengers at the Sotral bus stopping points. The drawdown and broadcasting by these means of artisanal transport at bus stops are generally made on sidewalks and sometimes on roadways, which is a source of road insecurity. This failure leads to friction between Sotral and motorbike taxis on the use of facilities dedicated to Sotral buses, creating an absence of cohabitation between two main actors of mobility in Grand Lomé. An approach focused on the flexibility and efficiency of intermodal points or the connection between motorbike taxis and Sotral allows good coexistence and constitutes a component of a sustainable mobility strategy.

Urban transport plays a massive role in the proper functioning of cities [1, 2]. Prioritisation of public transport [3] is an attempt to fight growing traffic congestion, which has a noticeable impact on people’s comfort of living, especially in large cities [4-6]. Shaping the road environment to improve the quality of functioning of public transport means that the management of urban infrastructure cannot cause difficulties. The continuous execution of construction works in Wroclaw has forced the ordering party to introduce temporary, and often complicated, traffic organisation solutions. The primary goal is to ensure the most efficiency for public transport users while maintaining the smoothness of private transport. This article presents solutions to temporary tram traffic organisation used in Wroclaw. The frequency and effects of the applied solutions were analysed using examples of completed and planned tram investments in Wroclaw. The reasons for the applied solutions and possible directions for further analyses were considered.

Artykuł przedstawia opis przypadku wystąpienia wzbudzonej mobilności pasażerskiej w układzie multimodalnym. Pretekstem do wystąpienia zjawiska ruchu wzbudzonego jest wprowadzenie na most i Trasę Łazienkowską w Warszawie pasa autobusowego w roku 2009. Posługując się archiwalnymi danymi pomiarowymi dla potoków pasażerskich w transporcie publicznym i ruchu drogowego autor odtwarza zmiany potoków pasażerskich przed i po analizowanej zmianie. Zaproponowana metoda analizy proponuje badanie występowania czterech głównych efektów usprawnienia połączenia komunikacyjnego opisanych w literaturze dotyczącej wzbudzonej mobilności. Potwierdzenie występowania określonego efektu pozwala następnie na podjęcie się jego pomiaru. Eliminacja lub pomiar wszystkich efektów pozwalają ostatecznie stwierdzić, czy w analizowanym przypadku wystąpiło zjawisko wzbudzonego ruchu pasażerskiego i jaka była jego skala. W przypadku utworzenia pasa autobusowego na moście i Trasie Łazienkowskiej w 2009 roku stwierdzono pasażerski ruch wzbudzony w transporcie publicznym autobusowym rzędu 1789 osób w godzinie szczytu porannego.

The article presents a case study description of induced passenger mobility in a multimodal system. The pretext for analysis of the phenomenon of induced mobility is the introduction of a bus lane on the Bridge and Łazienkowska Route in Warsaw in 2009. Using archival measurement data for passenger flows in public transport and road traffic, the author reconstructs the changes in passenger flows before and after the analyzed change. The proposed method of analysis tests the occurrence of the four main effects of improving the traffic connection described in the literature on induced mobility. Confirming the presence of a particular effect then allows one to undertake its measurement. The elimination or measurement of all the effects make it possible to definitively determine whether the phenomenon of induced passenger traffic occurred in the analyzed case and what its scale was. In the case of the creation of a bus lane on the Bridge and Lazienkowska Route in 2009, passenger induced traffic in public bus transportation was found to be of the order of 1,789 people in the morning rush hour. This traffic appeared alongside the takeover of some passenger car passengers by public transport, alongside the phenomenon of rerouting by system users, and alongside the phenomenon of transferring some trips from off-peak hours to peak hours.
