Improving Transport Services In Košice By Introducing Preferential Measures

摘要

The preference of public transport leads to improved transport services in the public transport (speeding up the time of relocation, adhering to the timetable, reducing the number and extent of delays of public transport connections), which stimulates the satisfaction of passengers in public transport and can stabilize or to stimulate demand for public transport services, which can be more reliable under such measures. This makes public transport more competitive about individual car transport. Public transport vehicles in Košice are currently not preferred to an appropriate extent. The absence of dedicated bus lanes causes significant vehicle delays and passenger travel time increases. The article was focused on the analysis of the travel speed of public transport vehicles on Hlinkova Street in Košice, which is based on a survey conducted in April 2019. Based on this, a solution was proposed to build a dedicated bus lane for public transport vehicles and calculated travel time savings.
