The Urban Transport Strategy on the Example of the City Bike System in the City of Lublin in Relation to the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The city bike system is now an increasingly popular form of communication. In practice, it has become a complement to the public transport system in large cities, and above all in the most crowded city centers. Importantly, the solution, which is a city bike, can contribute to the reduction of urban congestion, air pollution and to the reduction of noise levels. The paper discusses the issue of city bike system functioning in terms of meeting the transport needs in the area of the city of Lublin. The aim of the work is to describe the city bike system and to indicate the conditions for choosing this means of transport among the inhabitants of the Lublin region. A survey conducted among respondents in 2020 was used. The paper presents own research results and expectations of potential users of this system in the context of displacements, as well as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the system functioning in 2020, and the strategy for operating this industry.

Comparison of the Relative Importance of Factors Affecting the Conveyance of Bulk and Liquid Cargo

“…(1) the period of the company's activities is 10-15 years, (2) carrying out the transportation of specific cargoes-liquid cargoes, bulk cargoes for 8-10 years; (3) vehicle park, spec. transport 20-30 percent of the entire vehicle fleet.…”

“…The development and efficacy of transport firms heavily relies on their investment strategy, which is significantly influenced by external factors such as the direct and indirect investment environment [1]. The effectiveness of an entity is enhanced through its association with overarching strategies such as marketing [2], market analysis [3], financial planning, and advertising [4]. The cargo transportation sector holds a prominent position within this strategic framework [5].…”

Finding the Correlation between Transport Infrastructure and the Fatal Accident Rate of Cyclists—An International Perspective

“…It can be, for example, from the point of view of cohesion, smoothness of ride, connection to the overall network, as well as the aforementioned security. Some authors analyzed the safety of public bikesharing systems (Dudziak & Caban, 2022).…”

The Micromobility Tendencies of People and Their Transport Behavior

“…The last decade has brought many on-demand mobility options, including shared bikes [33]. These new modes, often grouped under the term micromobility, have the potential to address key aspects of sustainability, i.e., they can improve environmental sustainability by reducing the dependence on private cars.…”
