“…"Transportation is often referred to as the lifeblood of cities and regions because it provides the essential link of constantly moving population in this area, thereby helping to shape the region" (Vuchic, 1999). To promote the sustainable and liveable urban environments, private, public and non-motorised transport must functionally complement each other by forming balanced integrated systems.…”

“…According to Vuchic (1999), the most important element of decline in the number of passengers in public passenger transport is an increase in the quality of service. It is required when multiple transfers and the coexistence of more than one operator lead to the necessity of coordination, cooperation and interaction among them to ensure the image of one unified system without confusing potential users or allowing them to notice the interruption in the services offered.…”

Examining the competitiveness of public transport plays an important role because through public transport, the transport of passengers to schools, public healthcare establishments and work is ensured. In addition, transportation for vulnerable groups of passengers (students, seniors) is provided. On the other hand, public transport constitutes a financial burden on public budgets. The aim of this paper is to point out that public transport does not have an equal status in the transport market within the European Union. In the states of Central and Eastern Europe, public transport had a dominant position in the transport market in the 90s. Nowadays, the market share is declining, particularly in the bus transport, with the rising costs for public budgets regarding an increase in individual motoring. The aim of this paper is to highlight the possibilities of increasing the competitiveness of public transport by integrating different components of public transport. Another aim is to define the possibilities of financing public transport.

It relates mainly to the stabilization of the increased road transport claims on infrastructure. This expansion is problematic especially in built-up areas. Construction of a new expressway infrastructure caused by an increasing transport operation is a long-standing problem due to the ageing of population in the EU. The support of public passenger transport brings a lower fuel consumption. This is the way how to attain another objective of the EU strategy in the field of transport, which is the reduction of the EU's dependence on crude oil as a raw material that needs to be imported to the EU. Emission of air pollutants is another strategic goal that is fulfilled due to a lower diesel fuel consumption (Konečný at all, 2016). Based on the considerations from above, it has been concluded that the strategic objectives of the EU transport policy are achieved when population use the public passenger transport. In this regard, it has to be noted that it is necessary to support the public passenger transport and its competitiveness in relation to the individual automobile transport , (Simionescu, 2016). The aim of this paper is to identify the importance of public passenger transport and to define the effective method to increase public transport competitiveness. The increasing fare being dependent on an increasing transport service quality causes a decrease in transport service demand. The price elasticity of transport demand for public mass transport is -0.32 (Konečný at all, 2016), therefore, the aim Journal of CompetitivenessJournal of Competitiveness of the paper is to except the optimization of transport service and to...

“…The increase in agglomeration allows high levels of productivity and the possibility of successful economies of scale and improved networking (Krugman 1993). This type of reality is only possible if the urban transportation system guarantees the fluxes of people, goods and information (Vuchic 1999).…”

“…• There are significant social and community impacts that car traffic has on urban liveability (Vuchic 1999), including the separation of urban communities by busy roads and impacts on social disadvantage (Rosenbloom 2007). AVs increasing traffic volume will certainly exacerbate this issue, affecting a larger urban population in growing cities.…”
